When Cloudflare launched Cloudflare OS on August 5, 2026, it walked into a market that already has three well-funded occupants: OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Google's Gemini.

The vast majority of business people have powerful desktop computers in their offices, and these machines have no trouble handling even the most demanding software.

So for the people who mostly use laptops, it is far more convenient to use online tools rather than desktop solutions, because they require less from a computer,...
