Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Get clarity on how our platform works, what files are supported, and how to access premium features.

How does the AI generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) models to analyze semantic density, identify core definitions, theories, and relationships within your uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, etc.). It then formulates clear multiple-choice questions that test understanding rather than simple memorization.

What file types can I upload for quiz generation?

We support major document formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), and standard presentation files (like PowerPoint). You can also upload image files containing text or simply type your instructions directly into the prompt box.

Can I export the quizzes I create?

Absolutely. We offer robust exporting options to fit various needs: PDF for easy printing, Word (.docx) for easy editing, QTI 2.1 format for interoperability with many LMS systems, and Moodle XML for direct import into Moodle.

Is the AI quiz generator application free to use?

Yes, there is a generous free tier that allows you to generate a certain number of quizzes and practice interactively. For monthly creation credits and access to our most advanced AI model, we offer a paid subscription plan.
