Building The Agentic Cloud: Everything We Launched During Agents Week 2026

Cloudflare, Monday, April 20th, 2026

Last week was the end of our first Agents Week, an innovation week dedicated entirely to the age of agents. It couldn't have been more timely: over the past year, agents have swiftly changed how people work.

Coding agents are helping developers ship faster than ever. Support agents resolve tickets end-to-end. Research agents validate hypotheses across hundreds of sources in minutes. And people aren't just running one agent: they're running several in parallel and around the clock.

As Cloudflare's CTO Dane Knecht and VP of Product Rita Kozlov noted in our welcome to Agents Week post, the potential scale of agents is staggering: If even a fraction of the world's knowledge workers each run a few agents in parallel, you need compute capacity for tens of millions of simultaneous sessions. The one-app-serves-many-users model the cloud was built on doesn't work for that. But that's exactly what developers and businesses want to do: build agents, deploy them to users, and run them at scale.
