Build Chome Extensions that can be shared or sold, and that automate web based business processes

My team does most of their work across multiple internal and external websites. Their work involves a lot of copying and pasting from various web sources into spreadsheets for reporting and analysis. I have been able to combine work that previously took hours into automation that now takes just a few minutes. This also helps reduce new employee training time and all team member errors since the actions are now automated.

PROS

Cheat Layer has an exceptionally easy-to-use (once you understand the features and the workflow.) no-code interface. It enables you to create complex web automations across multiple tabs and then translate your developed process into a Chrome Extension that you can share with others or sell. I am also super excited to start using the AI-driven custom automations and desktop RPA tool that is included in the product. There is a ton of potential for me to reduce the time my team takes on redundant tasks.

CONS

There is a learning curve. It takes some work to get your mind around how to use the tool. Once you understand the basics and build of few automations of your own by following some of their training videos, you begin to understand how to apply the amazing features to your own automations. I feel like the training could be better organized and help you build upon your skills by showing you how to build more complex automations though examples in a course format. I know that they are working on building out more Youtube training videos, but for me, that would be most helpful.

Cheat Layer Automation and web scraping

PROS

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 [SENSITIVE CONTENT] 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.I like the ability to sell the solutions I create via the white-label option.

CONS

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 no code can be improved but I see that as on the "continually improving" side especially with the upcoming Project Atlas.

Cheating for Automation but not actually cheating

It is a really cool tool that helps me save my time while testing my systems and helps remove repetitive tasks and makes you more productive.

PROS

It is a tool that does not require coding and is easy to create automations. It has also other features to integrate with external services to log automation data. You can record your actions and save them, and the software will run it for you automatically.

CONS

The UI needs updating and is being improved with each update. There is a learning curve if you do not come from a technical background. Other than that, it is an awesome tool.

Massive Potential, But Needs a Lot of Work

My experience with Cheat Layer has been frustrating, but with tremendous potential still waiting to be tapped into. That's why I would recommend it. The developer has had huge success because of the potential that it offers individuals and businesses. However, if you're not a coder, you're going to struggle with it, despite the advertising saying that it's for non-coders. The technology is still nascent, and it doesn't work consistently, or at all, and this will be frustrating for people who don't know how to code. But it will likely get better in time.

PROS

Groundbreaking software that allows you to manipulate websites in a way that has never been done before. Near endless potential for money-making ideas.

CONS

The software promises the moon, but at the moment it under delivers. It advertises that you can do anything with its no-code automation software, but the code that it generates tends to only work on rare occasions, if at all. You still need to be a JavaScript developer to understand it, edit it, or get it to work properly. Granted that it's still early in its development, but it doesn't exactly deliver on the promise made in its advertisement. There's a big learning curve and you will spend a huge amount of time struggling to get the code that it generates to work properly. Now, if you are a JavaScript developer, then there's enormous potential here. So you have to know this going in. There's also huge room for improvement and new features being added every month, so investing in it now may be a good long-term strategy that will pay for itself moving forward.
