How to use Kahoot! AI tools

Welcome to your guide on how to use Kahoot! AI tools. This suite of features allows educators, students, and professionals to quickly generate quizzes and interactive games using various inputs, saving time and maximizing engagement.

What are the Kahoot! AI tools and who can use them?

Kahoot! offers powerful AI tools that facilitate the quick and efficient creation of engaging learning content. With these tools, you can generate quizzes and interactive games using various inputs, making the process significantly faster and more convenient. The tools utilize the latest OpenAI model, GPT-4.

How do I create a full kahoot with AI?

With this feature, you can easily create an entire kahoot in seconds. You can specify the difficulty level and even the tone of the content, making it adaptable to different educational contexts.

You can generate a kahoot using the following methods:

• Topic: Just type in any subject (e.g., “Dog breeds” or “Space”) and let the AI generate a complete set of questions.
• PDF file: Upload a PDF and our AI will scan the content to create tailored questions.
• Wikipedia article: Enter the article title and get diverse question types built with AI.
• Web page or URL: Paste a link to any web page and get a kahoot built from its content.
• Existing slides:  Import your presentation to transform static slides into an interactive quiz.
• Educational resources (DfE): Use verified curriculum materials from the Department for Education to create a kahoot (available for teachers in Great Britain).

How do I generate individual questions with AI?

If you only need a few questions for your existing kahoot, rather than a full game, you can easily create individual questions.

• Topic: Enter a topic in the field, like "Photosynthesis", and the AI will instantly generate a question and answer options.
• PDF file: Upload your PDF directly using the Upload PDF button.
• URL: Paste a link to any web page to extract specific questions.

How do I generate questions from synced Google Slides or PowerPoint?

You can transform presentations into interactive learning experiences.

• Google Slides : Simply sync your slides by selecting the "Import from Google Slides" option in the Kahoot! creator. Once imported, click the Create button at the bottom of the screen to finalize your presentation.
• Microsoft PowerPoint: Upload your PowerPoint slides to the platform. After the slides are imported, you can further edit your kahoot using additional AI tools.

How does the Kahoot! AI Assistant work?

The Kahoot! AI Assistant acts as your AI-powered co-creator. By clicking the Assistant (sparkle icon) within the kahoot creator, you get intelligent, context-aware suggestions slide-by-slide. It can help you enhance your text, suggest media, and polish your game efficiently.

How does AI image generation work?

You can generate images directly through the AI to enrich your visual content. Just describe the image you need, and the AI generates it instantly.

External AI Integrations (MCP Server)

For power users, kahoots can be directly created and edited using external AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This means you can interact with tools like ChatGPT or Claude using natural language to build or translate your kahoots without manually building slides.

If you are a frequent ChatGPT user, you can learn about specific prompts, best practices, and the easiest way to generate engaging content in our dedicated guide: How to create kahoots using ChatGPT.
