Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Answers to common questions regarding input, output, and platform usage.

How does the AI determine the correct answer and generate explanations?

The AI utilizes deep contextual understanding of the uploaded material to identify key facts and logical relationships. For every question, it constructs one verifiably correct option based on the source text, and plausible but incorrect distractors. The explanation details why the correct choice aligns with the source knowledge.

What types of files can I upload to generate my automatic MCQ set?

We support robust ingestion for standard formats including PDF, DOCX, and common image files (like JPG or PNG for scanned notes). You can also use text input prompts to guide the AI generation process.
