Frequently Asked Questions

Clarifying how our AI assessment generation platform works.

How does the AI generate detailed rationales for incorrect options?

The AI analyzes the underlying logical structure of the correct answer and the common misconceptions represented by the incorrect options. It then generates an explanation for the correct choice, focusing on the concepts tested, which naturally contrasts against the flawed logic of the distractors.

We support a wide array of input formats critical for educators, including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and various image files containing text. You can also use direct text prompts.

Can I export the generated quizzes for offline use or integration?

Absolutely. We offer robust export capabilities. You can download your MCQs with rationales as PDF or Word (DOCX) files, or utilize structured standards like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for seamless integration into other learning management systems.
