Cloudflare open-sources Cloudflare OS to run company AI agents

Cloudflare just open-sourced Cloudflare OS, a platform built to host and run internal AI agents, apps, and workflows.

Cloudflare rolled out an internal version in May to its entire workforce. Thousands of employees outside engineering used it to draft docs, build quick visual tools, and automate repetitive tasks. Now, according to a company blog post, Cloudflare is releasing the software as open source so any team can deploy and customize it.

Why it matters: Most AI assistants struggle to do real work because they lack company context and secure access to internal systems. Cloudflare OS fixes this by combining an isolated code runtime with built-in governance, letting agents query live data and run scheduled jobs without blowing open company security.

Here's the gist: instead of re-explaining company procedures to a chat prompt every morning, teams build a shared library of skills and context. The platform handles four main jobs: internal research, generating live documents connected to real data sources, building shared apps, and running scheduled workflows where models step in only when judgment is required.

It turns out the easiest way to give every employee an AI assistant is to build a whole operating system for them.
