  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats
  • An explanation attached to every answer for quick follow-up
  • Free plan runs in the browser with 3 generations a month

How it works

Upload your material

Add a team slide deck, a company PDF, typed notes or a photo of a page.

Pick the question type

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Review and run it

Skim the questions, remove any that are too specific, and share your screen to start.

DeckOwl reads the material you already have, such as a project deck, an onboarding PDF or a list of notes, and writes questions from it with explanations. You can read through the set before the meeting and cut anything that feels too specific to share.

If you only want a general trivia round, paste in the facts you want to cover and generate the quiz from that text instead.
