Turn your notes into a Gimkit-style AI quiz
Upload a PDF, a slide deck, a DOCX file or photos of your pages. DeckOwl writes the questions, the answer choices and a short explanation for each one, so you can review the material before a quiz.
How an AI Gimkit-style quiz maker fits into studying
Teachers and students who like the fast pace of Gimkit often want the same kind of quiz for their own course material. A AI Gimkit-style quiz maker can do the slow part: reading your slides or notes and drafting questions with correct answers and explanations.
- Upload slides, PDFs, DOCX files, notes or photos of printed pages.
- Generate multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations.
- Edit or remove any question before you practice or export it.
- Export to PDF, DOCX or Anki on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer
Get a mix of question types from the same material, each with an explanation that says why the correct answer is right.
Built from your own material
Questions come from your lecture slides, readings or notes, not a generic question bank, so the quiz matches what your class actually covered.
Study in the browser or export
Practice online on the free plan. Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX and Anki, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose your question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set from the content you uploaded.
Review and practice
Check each question and its explanation, edit anything that needs fixing, then quiz yourself or export the set.
DeckOwl does not run a live Gimkit-style game. It creates the questions and explanations, and you take them into whatever quiz or game tool your class uses. Reviewing each explanation still matters, because a question is only useful if you can say why the answer is right.
Start with a single chapter rather than a whole semester. A focused set of 15 to 25 questions is easier to check and gives you a clear picture of what you still need to review.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I write for a unit on the respiratory system?
Aim for enough questions to cover each major idea once, such as airflow, gas exchange and breathing control. For one unit, 15 to 25 well-checked questions is a practical starting point.
What makes a good explanation for a multiple-choice answer?
A good explanation names the principle behind the correct answer and, when useful, why a tempting distractor is wrong. It should be short enough to read right after the answer.
Can I export my quiz?
Exports are paid features. PDF, DOCX and Anki export are included with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included with Pro.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
