Frequently Asked Questions for Educators
Addressing key concerns about data security and quiz functionality.
How does the AI generate questions specifically from my documents?
The AI uses sophisticated natural language processing to identify core topics, definitions, processes, and factual assertions within your uploaded PDF or document. It then engineers well-formed multiple-choice questions designed to test comprehension and application of those extracted points.
What types of files can I upload to generate my school quizzes?
We support uploads for PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and common image formats. Alternatively, you can type a detailed prompt describing the topic, required depth, and desired question style.
Can I export the generated quiz for use outside the app?
Yes, robust exporting is a core feature. You can download quizzes in standard formats like PDF and Word (DOCX) for printing, or use structured formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for direct import into major Learning Management Systems.
Is the AI quiz generation tool completely free to use?
We offer a generous free tier that allows you to test the core functionality. For high-volume users, such as entire departments or institutions, a paid plan unlocks higher generation credit limits and access to our most advanced, high-speed AI model.
