Cheat layer has been extremely useful in bridging the gap between apps that either only has a Zapier integration or an API that as a non-coder, would find it difficult to connect up. The drag and drop no code builder since the UI overhaul has been a great tool to help create automation for creating documents and scraping data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Takes a while to get used to using the tool; the previous UI made it difficult to use the tool without coding know-how, but this has been updated recently making it much easier, but still needs tweaking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the fact that the tool is so easy to use. To create an automation, I record my actions like clicks and scrolls and I can save them as automations that run in my browser. It also integrates nicely with Google sheets so I can save data to it. The AI engine lets me create complex automations easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I first started using it, I didn't really like the UI, however it has gotten much better with every update. Also writing GPT prompts can be difficult at first, but one you get used to it, it becomes a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Cheat Layer for about 1 year, during which I have had the opportunity to attend a bootcamp, work one-one with one of their office hour software engineers and talk to Rohan himself. Every interaction has been excellent. The dedication and hard work the team puts into this is outstanding.
As far as Cheat Layer itself.. it is a very flexible tool. I have used it mainly for scraping websites and populating Google Sheets. There are many no-code “cheats” that you can use for many different situations/solutions, and you can have GPT-3 create code for you based on your “natural language” query and then add to this yourself. A keyboard/action recorder enables almost any set of actions to be taken on a website - part of which is a feature where elements that change, like buttons, will be correctly spotted-whether they change in name, position or both,
There is also a desktop version that can automate anything without reliance on a web browser and a new Project Atlas project that looks exciting.
I like the ability to sell the solutions I create via the white-label option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can’t think of anything: it is a product that meets many needs and looks to have a bright future. If I had to state something, Cheat Layer is a new company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI/UX(browser): It's straightforward to use. RPA or automation software was only open to a few automation experts in the past. But with Cheat Layer, even I can create a couple of automation flows on my own. I know nothing about coding, FYI.
Limitless capabilities: Especially with the advent AI technology, there are too many things that you can do with Cheat Layer. In 5 minutes, you can make a chat bot with some help from a tutorial video. Cheat Layers is Windows for
automation, but also Zapier alternative and AI assistant.
*Note: AI feature is not fully embedded within Cheat Layer, but you can integrate it with Riku AI, to name a few.
Team support: It's one of the best among early software startups. I am not sure yet whether Rohan(CEO) takes some time to sleep, very responsive to any questions. The facebook group is very active. You can get many tips from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Stability of desktop app: It's not yet officially version. So it's bit unstable. But the team said that the official one will be released soon. I guess desktop app will be more stable. What I meant by stability is not something really serious one, but for instance UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can automate any website even if it does not have API. You can create your workflows just like you would do in Zapier or Pabbly, but it's much cheaper. With CL you can create almost any automation you can think of (or that you can do manually in your browser). CL has GPT-3 powered AI assistant where you can write what you need, and AI gives you working code. The next big thing they are getting out is Project Atlas, a desktop automation software powered by Codex. Currently, its in beta, and I can already see it's power. Gonna be massive.

It is promoted as no-code, but in my experience, I always have to tweak the code to get an optimized result. I can say there is a steeper learning curve if you want to unlock its full potential. But if you spend some time learning it, then it's probably the only tool you will ever need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been using CheatLayer for a few months now, and I can confidently say that it has streamlined my business significantly. Previously, I would spend hours on the redundant task needed to run my business and help my clients, but with CheatLayer's help, I can automate those tasks so that they take less time. In addition, the app provides me with helpful insights into how best to allocate my time and resources.
The GPT-3 Code generation is something that we use to help build out complex codes instead of spending hours writing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside of CheatLayer is that there is a learning curve, but the team has helped reduce this dramatically over the past few months and they continue to improve the ease of use and quality of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really love the Desktop app. They're consistently updating it and adding new functionality to it. My favorites are Project Atlas and the built-in computer vision. Project Atlas is still being improved, but basically you can give it a command like, "Scrape Amazon for Kraft Macoroni & Cheese", and it will try to generate you an automation that will go to Amazon, search for the item, scrape the links, and save it to a Google Sheet. And this is all done without you touching any code.
The desktop app also has computer vision, so you can use it to build automations that are somewhat future-proof. If a page layout changes and a button moves to a different location, Cheat Layer will use CV to try and find the new location of the button and click it so that you don't have to build out a completely new automation.

I think the Chrome extension could use a little work. The interface is kind of clunky, but the team consistently pushes updates, so I'm sure they're going to improve UI and the UX sometime soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having been with this from the early adopter days, I can honestly say the Cheat Layer team have continually pushed the boundaries of making a unique automation platform that gives you your own ways to make the solution you need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Don't get me wrong, like any good software, there is a learning curve. But Rohan dedicates his time to always answer in many group chats and will rapidly add a feature if it is needed. Never seen this level of speed in developing a product before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Desktop based automations can save you a lot, instead of paying for zapier. The GPT3 based AI writer is quite helpful in generating code for non-techy people. Love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a bit more on the technical complexity side. Was quite a learninf curver for me, but i suppose once you get a hang of it, it can be a powerful tool. Nevertheless you must give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cheat Layer saves me time. Period.
With Cheat Layer I can automate business processes within a very intuitive interface using 'action recorders' and OpenAI Codex machine learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cheat Layer, for me was a steep learning curve as I had no deep appreciation for OpenAI Codex machine learning previously. However the team behind CL have built an engaged community, the CL team are very accessible and helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
