Chegg Coupon Codes July 2026: Save on Study, Textbooks, & More
My dog ate my homework isn't an excuse you can use anymore. Chegg has adapted with the times, incorporating homework help and tutoring with technology to bring students the assistance they need to ace tests and essays. From its beginnings as a textbook rental service, Chegg is now primarily known for its subscription-based homework help, 24/7 question portal, and AI-assisted learning. Chegg is designed to help you find the answers your child or student is looking for, with study tools like learning and math assistants, flashcards for study help, and writing tools like plagiarism and grammar checkers. Plus, keeping in line with their first mission, Chegg still has a large inventory of physical and digital textbooks available for students to rent or purchase, helping to significantly reduce rising academic costs and lower barriers.
Educational tech company Chegg sues Google over AI Overviews
Educational tech company Chegg has sued Google in federal court claiming that its "AI Overviews" that appear ahead of search results have hurt its traffic and revenue. In order to be included in Google's search results, Chegg alleges, it must "supply content that Google republishes without permission in AI-generated answers that unfairly compete for the attention of users on the internet in violation of antitrust laws of the United States." However, Chegg is taking another approach, instead accusing Google of abusing its monopoly position to force companies to supply materials for its "AI Overviews" on its search page. Failing to do so, it says, means it could effectively be excluded from Google Search altogether. Chegg included a screenshot of a Google AI Overview that takes details from Chegg's website without attribution, though the page in question appears lower down in the search results.
Chegg Embraced AI. ChatGPT Ate Its Lunch Anyway
Investors were surprised when the online education company Chegg last month revealed that ChatGPT was hurting subscriber growth--the company lost half of its market value overnight. But long before Chegg became an index case for the disruptive force of ChatGPT, its top brass had heard plenty of warnings about the threat and opportunity of generative AI. For years, on afternoon walks outside Chegg's Silicon Valley headquarters, former executives say they had discussed someday slashing costs by tapping AI programs to replace an army of instructors that answer student questions and draft flashcards. Matthew Ramirez, a product leader who left Chegg two years ago, says he even advised CEO Dan Rosensweig in 2020 that generative AI would be the bus that ran down Chegg if it didn't prepare itself. And just weeks after OpenAI launched ChatGPT last November, a source familiar with the exchange says, one Chegg executive had the bot write an email to Rosensweig urging him to develop a ChatGPT rival.
AI race drives down stock market valuations of education firms
The artificial intelligence race is already producing losers. On Tuesday, education companies trading on the London and New York stock exchanges saw hundreds of millions wiped from their valuations after Chegg, a US firm that provides online help to students for writing and maths work, said ChatGPT was affecting customer growth. The firm said it had seen a "significant spike" in students using the technology, and withdrew its profits guidance for the rest of the year, warning revenues had already been hit. It shares almost halved in value. The ripples were felt in London, where education giant Pearson's stock closed down 15%.
WriteLab acquired by Chegg – Reach Capital – Medium
One of our first investments out of Reach Capital was in a scrappy writing startup spun out of UC Berkeley, founded by English professor Don McQuade and his star student and TA Matthew Ramirez. They set out to solve their own problem: they were drowning in grading papers and didn't feel as if they were giving adequate feedback to their students. Yesterday, Chegg announced their acquisition of WriteLab, the AI-driven writing feedback platform. Grounded in a research-based pedagogy, WriteLab relies on machine learning algorithms to provide different categories of advice -- grammatical comments, logic, clarity and concision. WriteLab acts as a teacher's assistant, helping students polish their writing before turning it in.
