Frequently Asked Questions
Answers regarding custom quiz generation and educational output.
How does the AI generate detailed explanations for every option?
The AI analyzes the source context to determine the main argument and supporting evidence for the correct answer. For incorrect options (distractors), it uses its understanding of potential misinterpretations or logical fallacies present in the material to explain precisely why that option is wrong relative to the text.
What file types can I upload to generate my reading comprehension quiz?
We support comprehensive input formats, including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and various image formats. You can also input text directly via copy-paste or by giving the AI a descriptive prompt.
Can I export the generated quizzes for use outside of your platform?
Yes. We prioritize flexibility for educators and serious students. You can export your assessments directly to PDF or Word (DOCX) for easy printing, or use specialized educational formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for direct import into many Learning Management Systems.
Is the ability to generate quizzes with option explanations available on the free plan?
The core AI quiz generation functionality, including detailed explanations, is available for free use with a set number of credits per month. Our paid plan offers significantly higher generation credits and access to our most advanced, high-context AI model for complex materials.
