AI Features

Let AI do the heavy lifting — generate, improve, and bulk-create slides

AI Toolbar (Per Slide)

When you select any slide in the builder, an AI toolbar appears on the big card. Each button sends a request to our AI and updates the slide instantly.

Button	What it does
✨ Generate	Creates a complete new question from scratch based on your topic
🔧 Improve	Makes the question clearer, more engaging and professional
✂️ Shorten	Reduces word count while keeping the meaning
📝 Expand	Adds more detail and context to the question
🔄 Rewrite	Completely rewrites the question in a fresh way
✅ Complete	Fills in missing answer choices automatically
⚡ Generate Choices	Generates 4 answer options for the current question
🗄 Save to Bank	Saves the current question to your reusable Question Bank
📚 Bank	Opens the Question Bank in a new tab

⚡ Bulk Generate

1

Click ⚡ Bulk Generate in the topbar

The bulk generate modal opens with fields for topic, number of slides, difficulty, and question types.

2

Enter your topic and preferences

Pro Tips & FAQ

Expert advice and answers to common questions

⭐ Pro Tips

🎯

Start with a warm-up: Use a fun, easy word cloud or poll as the first slide. It gets participants engaged before harder questions.

⏱️

Time limits: 20–30 seconds works for most MCQ. Use 45–60 seconds for harder questions. Word clouds and open text work best with 45+ seconds.

📊

Debrief on wrong answers: After a question, hover over the wrong answer bar in the heatmap to see how many chose it. Use this to spark discussion.

🔄

Re-run for comparison: Use Re-run Quiz after training to measure improvement. Analytics shows pre/post comparison across sessions.

💾

Always check auto-save: Wait for "All saved" in the builder topbar before starting a session. This ensures all your latest changes are live.

📱

Test on mobile first: Join your own session from your phone before the real event to check how it looks for participants.
