Cloudflare OS: AI Productivity in a Sandbox

Hacker News •

Cloudflare OS is an operating system for AI productivity built inside Cloudflare. It runs across engineering, sales, and other teams, helping them work safely with AI. It is not a traditional OS; it manages AI workloads and company productivity in a sandboxed, secure way.

The platform offers an Agent chat UI where users can request tasks pre‑loaded with company knowledge, sandboxed application development for building and sharing “gadgets,” and a security framework called Gatekeepers that enforces guardrails for both agents and apps.

Cloudflare is making Cloudflare OS open source so others can copy it and customize it into their own Company OS. Quick‑start instructions let developers run local on wrangler/workerd or deploy to a Cloudflare account, though production use is not yet recommended.

Version v2, released in 2026, is a full rewrite that still has rough edges. The system creates a private instance of each gadget, preventing data leaks, while Gatekeepers provide a human‑in‑the‑loop that queues actions for later review. The experience feels like an online office suite where every file can be a custom AI app. Users can also share gadgets securely with teammates, and the platform supports building new blueprints from existing apps.
