Frequently Asked Questions About Prompt Quizzing

Get clarity on how our AI processes your instructions to build effective learning tools.

How does the AI generate questions based only on my text prompt?

It uses advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to identify key concepts, required relationships between facts, and the desired difficulty level stated explicitly or implicitly in your input prompt.

Can I still upload documents if I prefer not to type a prompt?

Yes, the tool remains highly flexible. You can upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, or images if you prefer the AI to extract content from existing files rather than starting from a pure text prompt.

What export formats are supported for quizzes generated via prompt?

Generated quizzes support comprehensive output options including PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 format for external testing platforms, and Moodle XML for LMS integration.

Is there a cost associated with using the prompt-based generation feature?

Basic prompt generation is free and offers a generous daily credit limit for immediate use. A paid subscription is required to access unlimited generation credits and utilize our more advanced, context-aware AI models.
