How does the AI actually generate questions from my uploaded PDF?

The AI employs advanced natural language processing (NLP) models to parse the text content within your PDF. It identifies key concepts, relationships, and supporting details, then formulates questions that test comprehension of these specific facts, simulating the rigor of expert assessment creation.

What types of files can I upload to generate a quiz?

We support a wide array of sources for comprehensive testing. You can upload PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), or even image files (like scanned handwritten notes or charts).

Can I export the quizzes I generate?

Yes, flexibility is key to effective studying. You can export your AI-generated quizzes in several formats, including standard PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), QTI 2.1 package, and Moodle XML, making them usable both offline and within various Learning Management Systems (LMS).

Is this tool completely free, or are there usage limits?

The core functionality to generate quizzes is available for free usage with a set number of generation credits. For heavy users or those requiring access to our most advanced AI models and higher credit limits, we offer a premium paid plan.
