Frequently Asked Questions on Document Import and Quiz Creation

Get quick answers about utilizing your existing study files with our AI tool.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded documents?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the text structure, identify core concepts, definitions, relationships, and procedural steps within your uploaded documents. It then maps these elements to appropriate question formats, such as multiple-choice, ensuring the quiz reflects the depth of the source material.

What file formats are supported for uploading course materials?

We support common academic formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX) files, and various image formats (like JPG or PNG) if material is scanned or visual.

Can I export the AI-generated quizzes for use in my school's learning management system?

Absolutely. We support essential export formats for academia, including standard PDF, Word (DOCX), the standardized QTI 2.1 format, and Moodle XML, ensuring easy integration into most university LMS platforms.

What is the difference between the free plan and the paid subscription?

The free plan allows you to generate a limited number of quizzes. The paid plan offers significantly more generation credits per month, access to our most advanced, higher-reasoning AI model, and potentially higher file size limits for large document uploads.
