Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Quizzes
Expert answers regarding the AI's methodology and usage capabilities.
How does the AI generate high-quality questions based on my documents?
The AI utilizes sophisticated Natural Language Understanding (NLU) to identify key concepts, relationships, and learning objectives within your uploaded files (PDF, DOCX). It then structures multiple-choice questions where the correct answer is derived directly from the text, and incorrect options (distractors) are intelligently modeled after plausible misconceptions found within the source material.
What file types can I upload to create my custom quizzes?
Our system is designed for maximum flexibility. You can upload standard document formats including PDFs, DOCX files, and PowerPoint presentations. Additionally, you can upload images containing text (like scanned notes or diagrams) or simply use the prompt box to describe what you need.
Can I export the resulting quizzes for offline use or LMS integration?
Absolutely. We support multiple high-utility export formats to facilitate diverse study needs. You can export directly to PDF for printing, Word (DOCX) for easy editing, and industry-standard formats like QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML for seamless import into various Learning Management Systems.
Is there a cost associated with generating customized assessments?
The core functionality of generating quizzes is available for free, allowing you to test the quality of our AI output. For users requiring higher volumes of generation credits or access to our most advanced underlying AI models for complex analysis, we offer a paid subscription plan.
