Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about using AI to generate quizzes from your files.

How does the AI generate questions from my PDF content?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the semantic meaning, key relationships, and factual density within your PDF text, rather than just matching keywords. This allows it to create contextually accurate questions and plausible distractors.

What file formats can I upload to create a quiz?

You can upload PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and common image formats (like JPG or PNG scans) directly into the system for processing.

Can I export the generated quiz for use in my LMS?

Yes. We support exporting your assessments in standard formats like PDF and Word for easy review, as well as highly compatible academic standards including QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, ensuring LMS integration.

Is the service truly free to start using?

The basic functionality, including generating quizzes from uploaded material, is available under a free tier with initial generation credits. Advanced features, higher credit limits, and access to our most powerful AI model are reserved for our paid subscription plans.
