Cluely, an AI app co-founded by Ivy League graduates Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam, drew a crowd outside Y Combinator after attempts to host a party. The app, designed to help users cheat on technical interviews, raised $15 million despite controversy. The founders, who dropped out of Columbia following school suspensions, initially launched the app as Interview Coder, aiming to disrupt traditional hiring practices in tech. Lee's comments during the party's disruption revealed their defiant spirit and ambition to redefine educational ethics.
"We only invited friends and friends of friends," insisted Roy Lee. "It just blew up way out of proportion."
As the cops busted up the party, the 21-year-old tech founder was heard shouting "Cluely's aura is just too strong."
After making waves online with their 'undetectable' AI that could trick LeetCode, the pair launched their app Cluely.
In response to school suspensions, the pair decided to drop out to pursue 'cheating' full-time.
