Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about leveraging our AI quiz creation technology.

How does the AI actually generate the questions from my documents?

The AI utilizes advanced natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the semantic meaning, identify critical facts, concepts, and relationships within your uploaded text or images. It then structures these elements into valid multiple-choice formats, ensuring questions test comprehension, not just memorization.

What specific file types can I upload to generate custom MCQs?

We support broad compatibility for input. You can upload PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt/.pptx), and image files (like .jpg or .png) containing text.

Can I export the generated quizzes for use in my school's LMS?

Yes. Beyond standard PDF and Word formats, we offer industry-standard export options, including QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, making it seamless to import your custom quizzes directly into various learning management systems.

Is the AI quiz generation tool entirely free to use?

The tool is free to try, allowing you to experience the quality of AI-generated assessments. For users requiring higher volume, access to our more advanced AI model, or unlimited generation credits, we offer premium paid plans.
