Cloudflare OS Guides
These topic-based guides are for teams evaluating Cloudflare OS. Start with what the platform is, then explore pricing, setup, deployment and how it differs from other enterprise AI products.
What is Cloudflare OS? Architecture and components
An overview of the open-source enterprise AI agent platform released in August 2026, its five components—including Workspace, Gatekeeper and AI Gateway—and its zero-permission security model.
Pricing and costs: what is actually free?
What “$0 licence fee” really means, the actual costs of Workers Paid, Zero Trust and AI inference, and how to budget for a small pilot.
Getting started and setup
The basic build path from the official cloudflare-os-starter and six practical stages from workflow selection and pilot to department-wide rollout.
Cloudflare OS vs ChatGPT Enterprise and Copilot
A six-point comparison covering purpose, delivery model, internal-system integration, permission control, customisation and product maturity.
Deployment: from setup to sign-in
Three ways to start, prerequisites, entrance protection with Cloudflare Access, deployment.jsonc settings and a post-deployment completion checklist.
What is Gatekeeper? Connecting internal data safely
How to grant access to specific targets without handing API keys to AI, separate reads from writes, preview unapproved actions and choose the first three integrations.
How Cloudflare uses Cloudflare OS internally
Published figures from Cloudflare’s CIO—thousands of weekly users and more than 4,000 apps in 30 days—plus six examples and the five-stage internal rollout.
Potential use cases for Japanese businesses
Illustrative scenarios for manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail, healthcare, regional finance and professional services, with one starting workflow and key permission considerations for each.
Glossary: implementation and IT terms in plain English
Plain-language definitions for product terms such as Gatekeeper and MCP, business terms such as pilot, ROI and governance, and technical terms including API and OAuth.
If the guides do not settle a question, we can assess it in the context of your organisation.
