Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Creation

Get answers regarding input methods, output formats, and pricing.

How does the AI algorithm generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify key concepts, definitions, processes, and relationships within your uploaded text. It then structures these elements into various question formats, ensuring that distractors (incorrect options) are plausible but factually flawed, optimizing your study session.

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

We support a wide range of common academic file types. You can upload PDFs, Microsoft Word documents (DOCX), PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), and various image formats containing text that needs to be assessed.

Can I export the quizzes for use in other learning management systems?

Absolutely. Beyond standard PDF and Word exports for offline reading, we specifically support industry-standard formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, allowing seamless import into major educational platforms.

Is this research assessment tool entirely free to use?

The tool is free to try, offering a generous allocation of generation credits to test our AI capabilities. For heavy users, academics requiring unlimited generations, or access to our most advanced models, we offer a paid subscription plan.
