Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our PDF-to-quiz engine operates and how you can utilize its powerful features.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded PDF?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) models to analyze the semantic structure, headings, definitions, and key concepts within your PDF content. It then synthesizes this information into valid multiple-choice questions, ensuring distractors are plausible but incorrect.
