Chegg, Inc., is an American educational technology company based in Santa Clara, California. It provides homework help, digital and physical textbook rentals, textbooks, online tutoring, and other student services, powered by artificial intelligence. The company has 6.6 million subscribers. Chegg has been widely criticized for facilitating cheating and academic dishonesty among students. The name Chegg is a combination of the words chicken and egg, and references the founders' catch-22 feeling of being unable to obtain a job without experience, while being unable to acquire experience without a job.
