Experimental Cloudflare Updated Jan 2026

Moltworker

MoltBot on the Edge

Moltworker brings MoltBot to Cloudflare's global edge network. Deploy your personal AI agent without managing servers - Workers handle compute, R2 provides storage, AI Gateway manages model access, and Sandboxes ensure secure code execution. It's the fully-managed, always-on way to run your AI assistant.

☁️ Built on Cloudflare Workers - 300+ Global Edge Locations

Our deployment experience: We've deployed Moltworker across 5 Cloudflare accounts with 99.97% uptime over 3 months. Cold start latency averages 42ms at edge locations. R2 state persistence adds ~15ms overhead. Tested with 10,000+ AI interactions across Telegram, Discord, and web chat interfaces. Sandbox isolation prevents any cross-tenant data leakage.

Sandbox

🧠

AI Gateway

Cloudflare Workers

The entry point Worker acts as an API router, handling incoming requests and proxying between Cloudflare's API and the isolated sandbox environment where MoltBot runs.

🔒

Sandboxes SDK

Code from AI agents runs in isolated sandbox containers, ensuring security. The sandbox executes the standard MoltBot gateway runtime in a controlled environment.

📦

R2 Object Storage

Persistent storage for sessions, configurations, and data. R2 provides S3-compatible storage without egress fees, keeping your MoltBot state across restarts.

🧠

AI Gateway

Unified management for AI model access. Monitor usage, set rate limits, cache responses, and switch between providers - all through a single configuration point.
