Cloudflare’s Moltworker lets you run a personal AI agent on Workers without dedicated hardware

Cloudflare introduced Moltworker, an open-source way to run the Moltbot personal assistant on Cloudflare’s developer platform. It combines a Worker entrypoint with Sandbox containers and R2 storage to keep the agent online and remotely manageable.

Cloudflare introduced Moltworker, an open-source adaptation that runs the Moltbot personal AI assistant on Cloudflare Workers and related platform services.

Key details

  • Moltworker pairs an entrypoint Worker (API routing/proxy) with an isolated Sandbox container that runs the standard Moltbot Gateway runtime and integrations.
  • Access control is handled with Cloudflare Access, and the project includes an administration UI for managing the deployment.
  • Persistent state is stored in Cloudflare R2, separating the agent’s long-lived data from the sandboxed runtime environment.
  • Cloudflare points to expanding Workers Node.js compatibility, including an internal experiment: of 1,000 popular npm packages tested (excluding build/CLI/browser-only), 15 didn’t work — about 1.5%.
  • The pitch: keep a “self-hosted” style agent you control, without needing to dedicate a separate always-on machine.
