Columbia student suspended over interview cheating tool raises $5.3M to 'cheat on everything' | TechCrunch
Briefly

Chungin 'Roy' Lee has raised $5.3 million for his AI startup, Cluely, designed to assist users in cheating during exams, job interviews, and more. The platform originated after Lee and his co-founder faced suspension from Columbia University for developing Interview Coder. Cluely features a hidden in-browser tool, claiming to revolutionize cheating similar to historic inventions like calculators. Lee's controversial launch video sparked debate, and he reported exceeding $3 million in annual recurring revenue, signifying notable interest despite the ethical quandary surrounding its use.
Cluely is designed to help users 'cheat' on various tasks like job interviews and exams using an AI tool hidden from evaluators or interviewers.
After being suspended from Columbia University, Lee and co-founder Shanmugan turned their controversial AI tool into Cluely, which has since raised $5.3 million.
