Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing

Get clarity on how our file-based AI quiz generation works.

How does the AI intelligently generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to identify core concepts, definitions, processes, and hierarchies within your uploaded text. It then structures these insights into valid, distracter-rich multiple-choice formats, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the source material.

What file types can I upload to generate a custom quiz?

We support common academic and professional document formats, including PDF, DOCX, and Microsoft PowerPoint files. You can also upload images containing text or simply input a detailed prompt directly into our interface.

Can I export the quiz results or the question bank for offline use?

Absolutely. Beyond interactive practice, you can export your AI-generated quizzes in several standard formats: PDF for easy printing, DOCX for editing, QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML for direct import into popular learning platforms.

Is the AI quiz maker functionality free to try?

Yes, the basic functionality is free to use, allowing you to test the power of uploading files and generating initial quizzes. Our paid plan offers higher generation limits and access to our most advanced, nuanced AI model for maximum assessment depth.
