Frequently Asked Questions

What types of questions can it generate?
Four types: multiple choice (with 4 options and the correct answer marked), true/false, short answer (with model answers), and flashcards (question on front, answer on back). You control how many of each type.
Are the questions accurate?
The AI generates questions based solely on your document's content. Questions are generally accurate, but we recommend reviewing them before use in formal assessments. The answer key is derived from the source material.
Can I use the generated questions for exams?
Yes, but review them first. AI-generated questions are a great starting point for exam creation, but a subject matter expert should verify accuracy and difficulty before using them in graded assessments.
What document types work best?
Textbook chapters, research papers, training manuals, and any content-rich PDF. Documents with clear factual content produce the best questions. Highly visual or formula-heavy PDFs may produce less useful results.
How much does it cost?
Your first 3 question sets are free. After that, a $0.99 day pass unlocks unlimited AI features for 24 hours.

Creating assessment materials from scratch takes hours. With AI-powered question generation, you get a complete set of varied questions in seconds — properly formatted with answer keys. Perfect for last-minute study sessions, classroom quizzes, or corporate training assessments.
