Cloudflare OS is an AI productivity environment offering agent chat, sandboxed application development, and capability-based security so companies can customize and safely run their own AI-enabled productivity software. It is an early access release under heavy ongoing development.
Project overview
It addresses the problem of letting AI agents perform work and access company systems without broad uncontrolled permissions, combining a built-in coding agent, per-user sandboxed app instances, and capability-based security in one self-hostable environment.

Best for
Companies and enterprise teams that want to customize and safely run their own AI-enabled productivity software with capability-based security.
Users who want an agent environment with sandboxed application development and agent chat, working with their choice of LLM provider including self-hosted models.
Key capabilities
The built-in coding agent writes, tests, and debugs Gadget code for users.
Creates a private sandboxed instance of each productivity application for an individual user.
Gadgets expose APIs that agents can invoke for collaboration inside the application.
Limitations and risks
The project is an early access release with many rough edges and heavy ongoing development.
Documentation and tooling for deploying on workerd to a user's own server are not yet smooth or complete.
Many Gatekeepers require configuration, including obtaining OAuth client credentials for each third-party service, before they can connect.
The agent performs tasks by writing and immediately executing code snippets; review how this fits your security requirements before adoption.
Install pnpm, run pnpm run-local, then open http://localhost:8787. Many Gatekeepers additionally require configuration, including OAuth client credentials for each third-party service, before they can connect. Setup difficulty is moderate. Users also choose an LLM; Cloudflare OS works with many major AI model providers and self-hosted models.
