Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using AI for personalized testing.

How does the AI generate questions based on my input?

The AI uses sophisticated Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the content structure, identify key concepts, terminology, and relationships within your uploaded documents (PDFs, DOCX, images) or prompt text. It then formulates questions that test comprehension and application of those extracted facts.

What types of files and content sources can I upload for quiz creation?

We support uploading common document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX), as well as images (PNG, JPG) containing text. You can also simply type or paste text directly as your source material.

Can I export the completed formative quiz for use outside the platform?

Yes, flexibility is key to formative assessment planning. You can export your generated quizzes in widely compatible formats: PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML.

Is the AI quiz generator completely free, or are there paid tiers?

The core functionality, including basic generation and interactive practice, is available for free, allowing you to test the utility. Our paid plan offers significantly increased generation credits and access to a more advanced, powerful AI model for complex content.
