Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding how our AI delivers reliable, high-quality assessment content.
How does the AI generate questions with explanations for every option?
The AI performs deep semantic analysis on your input material. For each generated question, it identifies the correct concept and then generates plausible, yet incorrect, distractors based on common errors or related sub-topics, allowing the explanation engine to articulate precisely why each choice is right or wrong.
What types of files can I upload for quiz generation?
We support common academic and business document formats, including PDFs, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and various image files (JPEG, PNG). You can also simply type a detailed prompt describing the topic.
Can I export the generated self-assessment quiz for offline use?
Absolutely. You have several export options to fit your workflow, including standard PDF, Word (.docx), QTI 2.1 format (ideal for many digital learning platforms), and Moodle XML.
Is the AI quiz generator free to try, or is it subscription-only?
The core functionality is available for free, allowing you to test the generation quality. Our paid plan unlocks higher generation credit limits and access to our most advanced, nuanced AI model for the most complex materials.
