Here is an honest question: how many people in your office are using AI tools that IT has never approved? Employees do it because it helps them work faster, but it can also mean sensitive files in unapproved systems, unreviewed AI-generated code and quietly rising costs.
On October 21, 2026, Cloudflare announced a bigger partner ecosystem for Cloudflare OS, its AI workspace, aimed at solving exactly this problem.
Cloudflare OS: Overview
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| What It Is | An AI workspace where teams describe a tool or automation and Cloudflare OS builds, deploys and connects it |
| Where It Runs | On Cloudflare’s infrastructure, not employee laptops |
| App Integrations | Asana, Box, Canva, ClickHouse, GitHub, Gong, Notion and more |
| Deployment Partners | EPAM, HappyCog, Towards AI |
| Cost Control | Cloudflare’s AI Gateway picks the right model for each job |
| Setup | Administrators can connect resources in minutes |
Why It Matters?
Speed without the chaos. IT teams often face a bad choice: block AI and slow the business, or let it spread with no guardrails. Cloudflare OS tries to offer a third path. Because it runs in Cloudflare’s own environment, security teams get visibility and control that they often lack with other setups.
Access limited to what’s needed. Each tool connects to your systems of record without getting more data than it needs. ClickHouse, for example, says every agent is limited to the data it needs and every action stays visible.
Smarter spending. The AI Gateway routes work to the right model, which helps teams rein in runaway token bills.
What the Partners Say?
- Asana: Agents can track progress and flag blockers, with clear guardrails.
- Canva: Agents can find, create and transform designs, such as sales decks and marketing content.
- Gong: Business users can build agents that act on customer conversations securely.
- Towards AI: Its forward-deployed teams turn the platform into measurable results, “not another pilot.”
CEO Matthew Prince said the goal is a secure, company-aware AI workspace from day one, “without turning every rollout into a multi-million dollar engineering project.” Cloudflare built it for its own teams first.
