Columbia student creates AI tool to easily land offers from Amazon, Meta, TikTok and more

Created by Columbia student Roy Lee, Interview Coder is an invisible application that helps one pass LeetCode interviews, which provide coding and algorithmic problems.

In a series of posts, Lee revealed that he has secured interviews from several tech companies and successfully passed them to secure intership offers. “Yes, I actually used Interview Coder to get an Amazon offer. Yes, I used to also run an account that taught people how to solve Leetcode questions,” he said in posts on X.

Columbia University student Roy Lee is facing a disciplinary hearing after using an AI tool, Interview Coder, to pass technical interviews at Amazon, Meta, and TikTok. Lee, frustrated with the interview process, developed the tool to automate solving coding problems. He used it to secure offers from multiple companies but rejected them, instead using his experience to showcase flaws in the hiring system.

After Lee posted his Amazon interview online, Columbia received a complaint accusing him of cheating, leading to disciplinary action. Lee, however, is leaving the university and believes AI will soon make many intellectual jobs obsolete. His story has gone viral, and he is now selling subscriptions to his AI tool.
