Editorial disclosure: These articles were commissioned by Rohan Arun, Cheat Layer's founder, whose company has a commercial interest in this comparison. They distinguish company statements, dated user reports, and research publications. No response from MultiOn or Div Garg was requested during this research.
Public descriptions associated with MultiOn founder Div Garg make strong historical priority claims. His Delphi profile says, “I pioneered the first computer-use agents widely used in the industry.” AGI, Inc.'s MWC exhibitor profile describes him as having pioneered the first consumer browser agents in Silicon Valley. These are different claims, with different qualifications, and neither page supplies a comparative chronology establishing priority. Delphi profile, MWC exhibitor profile.
Cheat Layer belongs in that chronology. Its republished Project Atlas announcement describes translating natural-language requests into an automation language using Codex, alongside machine-learning models for identifying interface elements. The page identifies September 2, 2022 as its original publication date and links to a Wayback capture. The accessible page is a September 2024 repost; the archive itself could not be retrieved in this research, so the stated original date should remain explicitly attributed. Project Atlas announcement.
There is also dated customer testimony. A G2 review displayed as November 23, 2022 describes using Cheat Layer's GPT-3 assistant to generate automation code and describes Codex-powered desktop automation in beta. This is evidence of a user's reported experience before 2023, although it is not a controlled technical evaluation or independently preserved launch record. Dated G2 review.
For comparison, Amazon's January 2024 profile places MultiOn's first limited browser-extension launch in January 2023. Amazon was an investor, so this is an investor-published company account rather than an independent audit. Nevertheless, it supplies a concrete milestone against which the earlier Cheat Layer material can be compared. Amazon's MultiOn profile.
My assessment is that this record supports crediting Cheat Layer with earlier GPT-powered automation work than MultiOn's reported limited launch. It does not establish equivalent autonomy, reliability, or availability between the products. Generating an automation and autonomously observing, planning, and executing a task are capabilities that need to be compared directly.
The appropriate challenge to the priority claim is specific: define the claimed category, identify the qualifying release, and explain why earlier systems fall outside it. Until that comparison is supplied, readers should treat broad “first” language as an unsubstantiated priority claim, rather than settled industry history. The evidence examined here does not establish knowing deception or fraud.
