firstagents - StandardPioneer Bootcamp Curriculum
TL;DR
Your First Agents will introduce you to working with both Cloudflare OS gadgets and Cloudflare back end services.
These simplified agents will make you dramatically more confident and capable.
KEY POINT: You may consider the bootcamp done, after these.
Disclaimer
All Curriculum elements are purely speculative, through 2026.
We will just keep updating these pages as we learn more about what works.
Even before you start
You're going to need to set up AI Gateway.
Just ask a frontier model (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini) and they will guide you through this process.
You'll know you are done successfully when you can see something like this in your Cloudflare OS dashboard

By now you have probably figured out that a gadget is an agent in the Cloudflare OS system.
KV persistence store assignment:
- This assignment uses Cloudflare KV: https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/
- This should run on a daily schedue, at the same time every day
- It should use an appropriately skilled (as in, a cheaper) LLM model
- have the agent generate a randomized list of 10 to 20 tasks for 3-5 named employees to complete at specific times over the next 24 hours
- the key for each record looks like this: John Smith 261023_7pm
- the value for each record looks like this: Finish tidying up the office
- write all the keys and values to the KV system
- read it back report in the UI a schedule that might look something like this:
261023
John Smith
- by 3pm: Sort out unfinished tickets
- by 7pm: Finish tidying up the office
Marion Barry:
- by 1pm: Bring John Smith lunch
