Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our document-to-card technology works.

How does the AI generate questions from uploaded content?

The model performs sophisticated semantic analysis to identify key terms, definitions, hypotheses, and supporting data within the file, formulating question-answer pairs that test comprehension of those specific concepts.
