a nice interractive article
Nice addition to Ka hoot!
How are the questions verified? Here's a question generated that isn't correct.

How can we trust that the question/answers generated are authentically verified when they can be wrong at times. Below I've given an example of one, and I've seen others in the past that have had problems with correct answers. It seems we need to verify answers before we can add and save our progress with these errors being added by the generator.
Hi 5ynergy!
Thanks for the question. And you're 100% correct. AI has come along way in the last few years. But like humans, it makes mistakes. You still need to peer-review and edit. But you'll save lots of time nonetheless.
thank you
thnx
thanks
When I try to upload a pdf I get a message saying there is no text.
Hi kimberlybiggs! Are you able to manually drag-select text in your PDF and copy it into some other document? Some PDFs are access-restricted by their author, meaning a security feature exists on the file that prevents text from being copied. Some PDFs may have originated from a document scanner, meaning the pages are actually images and not editable text. Our PDF question generator currently requires that PDF text can be copied or edited.
Until we can improve this, you may want to search online for tools that can convert a "scanned PDF" to an "editable PDF". Running your PDF through such a tool might make it readable to our question generator.
Frankly, pretty disappointing. I loaded a document just over 5 pages, thick with terminology and definitions and all AI can generate is hardly 10 questions that make sense. If you ask to load more they are exactly the same questions with different pictures. I have subscribed to a few platforms to help speed up my work: yours is the most expensive and disappointing considering what could be possible.
I would like to create a set of questions from particular documents and then being able to make a quick kahoot randomly selecting a few from these sets: It does not seem to be possible... Especially using AI it would be a fast process and provide daily and varied challenges for students, but if your AI can only put together less than a dozen different and coherent questions from 5 full pages...
Hi apendola13! Greatly appreciate the constructive feedback. We're definitely working to make it smarter. A challenge with generative AI tools like this is that PDFs allow for an infinite variety of layouts for text to be arranged. Some will output brilliantly, while others won't. If this is a PDF you're willing to share with our team for research, please submit a help request with the PDF attached and an explainer of how we can reproduce the issue.
