中文导读
Cloudflare OS 把企业 Agent 描述为围绕公司上下文构建的工作空间：每个人都有一个 Agent，能理解组织知识流程系统和应用，并把这种访问能力转化为文档关系和运营工作，而不只服务代码生成
为什么值得关注
企业 Agent 平台的重点正在从写代码转向连接组织上下文和业务系统
This source is useful for AAIF because it turns a current AI adoption/product direction into concrete operational questions: what context the system needs, what evidence should be used to measure value, and which governance boundaries matter when agents move from demos into organizational workflows.

Every organization has a mission, a reason for being. Organizations pass that mission — along with their terminology, procedures, systems, standards, and ways of working — to their people. People, in turn, take this context together with their own experience and work towards the mission.
Work can take many forms, from code, to documents and slides, to relationships, to outcomes in the physical world.
Some of these are straightforward: code either runs or it doesn’t. Agents have been using this feedback loop to produce code that “works” for developers over the last couple of years. But what about the rest of us?
Bringing the same leverage to the rest of the organization is a harder problem. Agents need to understand the context of the company and be able to reach the systems people use to do their jobs. They need to turn that context and access into work that moves the organization towards its mission.
That’s why we created Cloudflare OS. It gives every person an agent and workspace built around their company: how it works, what it knows, and the systems it relies on.
In May of this year, we gave every person at Cloudflare access to the first version of Cloudflare OS. Thousands of people across every function, many of them outside of engineering, use it every day to create documents and slides, automate repeatable tasks, and build small apps to visualize data and help them do their work.
Cloudflare OS also gave everyone a shared library of context and skills built by teams at Cloudflare. It captures our terminology, procedures, and best-known ways of doing recurring work as instructions an agent can follow. When one person figures out a better way to do something, everyone else can use it.
Today, we are open sourcing a new version of Cloudflare OS. Any organization can deploy it, connect it to internal systems, and make it their own.
Copy linkWhat we learned from the first version
The Cloudflare OS we are open sourcing today is based on what we learned from running the first version internally, a journey our CIO, Sam Rhea, covers in his blog post.
The first version centered on individuals working with agents through private workspaces. Apps were static rather than live software connected to internal systems, and mostly deterministic jobs still required running an agent skill again and consuming more model tokens.
Collaboration exposed a more fundamental challenge. Access to an MCP server told us which tools an agent could call, but not which underlying resources the agent had observed. Once people began sharing workspaces, apps, and outputs, we needed to ensure that collaboration could not expose information someone was not permitted to see.
We rebuilt Cloudflare OS on a new foundation to solve these problems. Security had to be part of the platform, not something every person building an app or using an agent has to implement correctly.
The result is a platform designed to belong to the company running it. You can customize the interfaces, connect your tools, and add the skills and context that capture how your organization works.
Copy linkIntroducing Cloudflare OS
Cloudflare OS starts with a conversation in your browser, like many other AI tools. What makes it different is that each conversation is grounded in the context and skills your organization has curated. Give your workspace a goal, and it can draw on that knowledge and work with the tools and data your organization already uses to achieve it.
Cloudflare OS combines three parts:
- An agent workspace grounded in context and skills your company curates, with an isolated runtime where agents can write and run code.
- A new security and governance framework for safe access to internal data and services.
- A platform for personal, modifiable apps that people can build, share, and continue changing.
What begins as a conversation can become a doc, an app, or a workflow that continues doing the work.

Agent workspaces were designed for everyone in your organization to use. You interact with them in your browser, so you don’t have to be a developer or know how to use a terminal.
