17-Year-Old Launches AI Startup Supporting Neurodivergent Job Seekers After School Bans ChatGPT
Seventeen-year-old Navya Tuteja, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia, launched Raaha, an AI startup designed to help neurodivergent job seekers evaluate job listings for suitability. Inspired by her mother's hearing impairment and gaps in job ads, Raaha attracted over 1,000 users and 20,000 listings within two months. Despite her school banning ChatGPT and similar AI tools, Tuteja uses AI responsibly and advocates regulation rather than bans, completing schoolwork independently during restrictions.
