Hey Product Hunt 👋 We’re excited to launch the world’s first screen recordings to agents! By simply uploading a Loom (or any screen recording up to 50 minutes), you can create a no-code, drag-and-drop graph to automate any manual desktop process.

You can solve tasks that require logical reasoning or distil insight through multi-shot prompts. You may already have agents waiting in your Loom account! (any screen recordings also work) ⚡ Generate agents in 20 seconds from screen recordings 🔄 Unlimited agents and executions with no limits 🎥 While action recorders already exist in RPA, screen recordings are the only way to regain decades old lost expertise 📈 Scale to thousands of agents easily using our parallel scheduler design 🏷️ White label any agent you create—if it saves you time, it could be a great product or internal tool! 🎯 We invented a robust new targeting strategy "Semantic Targets" two years ago that still works when services update designs. All our targets are english/language like 'post button' rather than obscure code selectors or brittle computer vision. We were the first startup approved by openAI to sell GPT-3 for automation in August 2021, and we've been working on agents for years before chatGPT. We founded Cheat Layer during the pandemic to help people who had lost their jobs and businesses rebuild online using GPT-3. We personally helped hundreds pro bono before turning to AI for help. Businesses today are threatening to fire employees and replace them with AI. We believe within 2 years, the AI necessary to generate most of those businesses will be a commodity. In a future where the AI in your pocket can generate custom, secure, and free versions of all the most expensive business software, we believe there'll be a level playing field that removes the barrier to build these businesses. More small businesses will build competitive brands through personal relationships, better quality service, and network effects through unique data. We invite you to join us in building this future together faster. Try it now at CheatLayer.com—no login required. Upload a Loom video and see the magic happen. Most automation tools require software installation to record your actions, but screen recordings make it easy to narrate and automate simultaneously from decades old videos. Powered by Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, the only model today that enables video inputs to generate agents! What used to take hours now takes just 20 seconds—from video to editable agents. This is currently the easiest, fastest way to build agents on the planet today without installing anything. Try it now and let me know what cool agents you create, or comment with your use-case and I'll build them in order! 😊

@christophe_h thanks for the feedback!

@christophe_h Wow! Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are ecstatic to hear about the problems Open Agent Cloud can solve. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Rohan Arun
@kjosephabraham Thanks I appreciate it! Customers are very excited when they start because previously it took an hour to install and hours to build an agent. We reversed that to 20 seconds without installing anything!

@rohan_arun1 Thank you for CheatLayer! I have had the pleasure of using CheatLayer from the start, solving simple automations. As CL has grown and matured, it has increasingly grown easier to install and learn. With the addition of CL Cloud with video prompt inputs, what was once difficult, is now simple! Do you have dozens of short instructional videos that you have sent to VA’s? Turn them into automations! Do you have a repeatable process that you do when setting up an account in any software online or your desktop? Record a few short videos and automate it! If there are several complex steps, create small short videos and CL can combine, add pauses, and if you desire, insert code into the process. How about those pesky monthly reports? Show CL where to scrape the data, and what to do with it to build your reports. Are you gathering data to use, hook CL up with Google Sheets to use in a later step, or SupaBase.com to store the data for a web application. If you are learning the art of, or a data scientist, then CL is your diligent assistant that shortens repeatable tasks, and can manipulate data with python code inserted in the process. Part of how CL automates, is using AI to map buttons to click and web data boxes to scrape, even if the button or data box moves at a later date, CL self corrects and continues, instead of breaking! In short, just get Cheat Layer and see what YOU can create for your industry specific challenges and repeatable tasks.

I'm Curious: What are the top 3 uses cases you have found that people use this for?
Rohan Arun
@sentry_co all top 3 tend to be mundane document processing --usually paying a lawyer or someone with expertise to fill out a form tends to be the most common pattern.
André J
@rohan_arun1 What do you envision the top 3 will be 12 months from now?

Pretty exciting to be able to upload a screen recording and have that turned into an automation
Jaspher Tanjusay
@reed_floren Thank you. Give it a try and let us know about it.
Dmytro Khlopkov 🇺🇦
Awesome tool, would love to give it a try. No code/low code is the future especially for those process based operations 🚀🚀🚀 congrats on the launch Rohan and best of luck!
Rohan Arun
@dmytro_khlopkov thanks for the support! Please describe your dream agent and we will build it for you as part of the Antler F24 promotion.
Jaspher Tanjusay
@dmytro_khlopkov Thanks. You can try it out and let us know how it goes.

Hey @rohan_arun1! 🚀 This is an incredible leap forward in no-code automation! The ability to convert Loom videos or screen recordings directly into desktop automation agents is a game-changer. The fact that it requires no software installation and can handle tasks with logical reasoning is particularly impressive. It's fascinating how your platform can turn existing knowledge captured in screen recordings into actionable agents, effectively preserving and leveraging expertise that might otherwise be lost. The semantic targeting strategy you’ve developed is a brilliant approach to ensure consistency even as service designs evolve. It’s also inspiring to see how Cheat Layer started as a way to support people during tough times and has now evolved into a tool that empowers users to streamline and innovate. I’m excited to see how this will level the playing field for small businesses by reducing barriers to building sophisticated tools. I can't wait to experiment with Cheat Layer and see what unique agents I can create. The prospect of uploading a video and generating something useful in seconds is truly exciting. Kudos to your team for pushing the boundaries of what's possible in automation! 🔥 Looking forward to seeing the incredible use cases that the community will come up with. Cheers to a future where automation is accessible to all! 🎉

@andreaiguaran I appreciate the support!
lxfater
Pretty interesting! But the interface is a bit rough.
Rohan Arun
@lxfater Thanks! Your product also looks very interesting
Sebastian Wu
It's so difficult to create an app like this. Generating agents from videos, wow, I don't know how to do this. Congrats to your team for creating this!
Jaspher Tanjusay
@sebastean_wu We are very grateful.
Rohan Arun
@sebastean_wu It's only possible thanks to Google Gemini pro 1.5! We previously got it working by splitting videos into frames into gpt4, but that was too expensive for a product. Gemini makes it possible
Mo Kha
Very exciting to be in this aventure. Crazy tool love it
Jaspher Tanjusay
@mo_kha1 appreciate it.
Olena Variacheva
I recommend Open Agent Cloud (Antler F24), an innovative tool that allows you to create no-code automation agents in just a few steps. It's a great way to automate routine tasks and increase productivity.
Jaspher Tanjusay
@varrr_al Thank you. We appreciate your support.
Wenxuan Li
This sounds revolutionary! I'm curious about how the agents handle more complex workflows, especially those that require nuanced decision-making. Could you elaborate on how the logical reasoning aspect works? Also, are there any limitations on the types of tasks they can automate? Excited to see where this goes, @rohan_arun1!
Sam Edelstein
The tech here is mind-blowing. Congrats @rohan_arun1 to you and the team. Can't wait to try it out!
Ben Guez
I believe in this
