Poper Quiz — How do I generate a full quiz with AI from a topic, link, or document?

Short answer: On the Create Quiz screen, choose how you want AI to generate it — topic / prompt, URL, or upload a file — pick how many questions you want, and let it draft the quiz. Then open the editor and tighten the questions, options, and correct answers before publishing.

What AI generation gives you

  • A quiz title and description.

  • A set of questions (multiple choice by default).

  • Suggested options with a marked correct answer.

  • A starting point you can edit, reorder, expand, or trim.

It is a draft, not a finished quiz. Always review it before sending it to real visitors.

Step 1 — Start a new quiz with AI

  1. Open Quizzes in the sidebar.

  2. Click Create Quiz (or New Quiz).

  3. On the create screen, choose one of the AI options:

    • From a topic / prompt — describe the quiz in plain English (for example: “A 7-question quiz on basic JavaScript for beginners, mostly multiple choice.”).

    • From a URL — paste a webpage; AI will read it and base the quiz on its content.

    • From a file — upload a PDF, doc, or similar; AI will use the file as the source material.

Step 2 — Pick how many questions to generate

  1. Choose the number of questions you want.

  2. Generation is capped at 10 questions per run, so for a longer quiz, generate the first batch, then add more questions later (manually or with the AI helpers in the editor — covered below).

Step 3 — Review the draft in the editor

When generation finishes, the quiz opens in the editor on the Create tab. Treat the result as a draft:

  1. Read each question and reword anything that sounds unnatural.

  2. Check the correct answer is actually correct.

  3. Check options for duplicates or near-duplicates that make the question too easy.

  4. Add or remove questions as needed.

  5. Reorder with drag-and-drop so the difficulty curve makes sense.

Step 4 — Use the per-question AI helpers

Inside the question editor, AI can also help refine specific questions:

  • Fix grammar — cleans up awkward wording across questions.

  • Generate distractors — suggests realistic wrong-answer options for a multiple-choice question, given the correct option.

  • Generate similar question — drafts a new question modeled after the current one (handy for expanding past the 10-question limit).

Step 5 — Add settings, then publish

After the draft feels right:

  1. Open Configuration and set the basics (passing score, time limit, lead capture, theme).

  2. If this is a personality quiz, switch the quiz type and map outcomes (separate article).

  3. Open Preview and run through the quiz once.

  4. Go to Share and publish when you are happy.

Tips for better AI output

  • Be specific in the prompt — include audience, difficulty, topic boundaries, and how many questions of each style you want.

  • Use a real source — URL or file inputs usually produce more accurate questions than open prompts because AI is grounded in your content.

  • Generate in batches — generate 10, edit them, then use Generate similar question to expand individual questions instead of re-running a giant prompt.

  • Match question style to your quiz type — personality and product quizzes do not have a single “correct” answer, so you will rewrite options to fit outcomes after generation.

Common questions

  • Can I generate more than 10 questions in one go? No. The generator is capped at 10 per run; expand from there with Generate similar question or by adding manually.

  • Will AI invent facts? It can. Always verify the correct answer for factual quizzes — especially when generating from a topic prompt rather than from a file or URL.

  • Can I regenerate just one question? Use Generate similar question on that question, or delete it and add a new one with the AI helper.

  • What languages does it support? Whatever language you write the prompt in is usually what you get back. For mixed-language sources, write the prompt in the language you want the quiz to be in.

  • Does AI generation cost extra responses? It only generates the quiz; visitor responses are counted only when real people take the quiz.

If the result is not good

  • Output is too generic → make the prompt more specific (audience, scope, examples of question style).

  • Wrong correct answer marked → click the option that should be correct in the editor; AI sometimes guesses.

  • Options are too similar → run Generate distractors on that question for fresh, distinct wrong answers.

  • Questions miss your source → switch from a topic prompt to From URL or From file so the model has actual content to base the quiz on.
