Columbia suspended him after he built a cheating app. Now he's raised $5.3M for it.
Briefly

Roy Lee, a Columbia University undergraduate, has raised $5.3 million to launch Cluely, an AI-driven tool designed to assist during job interviews, sales calls, and meetings. The software, formerly known as Interview Coder, offers real-time assistance for a $20 monthly fee and aims to adapt to the evolving demands of communication and work in the tech landscape. Lee argues for an acceptance of AI's role in education, noting that many students already utilize it despite institutional pushback against such tools.
"You can't really cheat on a conversation. It's just meant to be provocative. The future where we use AI more and more is inevitable."
"Some of the professors are like the only voices against it, but I would not be surprised if something like 99% of undergraduates use AI when they're not allowed to."
