How Kahoot-style AI quizzes work with DeckOwl

Teachers and students often want a Kahoot-style AI quiz built from the material they already have, not a generic question bank. DeckOwl reads your files and writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation tied to the source.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions built from your own material
  • An explanation for every answer, so wrong options teach you something
  • Quizzes, flashcards with spaced repetition and mind maps from the same upload
  • PDF or DOCX export on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML export on Pro

Questions from your files

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the pages so the quiz matches what you actually covered.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong choice becomes a study point instead of a guess you never revisit.

Quizzes plus study tools

The same upload can also become flashcards with spaced repetition and mind maps, so one set of notes supports the whole review cycle.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a document or notes. Pages photographed with your phone work too.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write for the American Civil War?

For a single unit test, 10 to 20 questions covering causes, major battles and key figures usually works well. Generate a larger set from your notes, then keep the questions that match what your teacher covered.

What makes a good multiple-choice question for a history quiz?

Each wrong option should be plausible, such as a nearby date or a different general, and only one should be clearly correct. Read the explanation for each question so you can see why the right answer fits the source.

Which exports are included with each plan?

Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can begin on the Free plan with 3 generations per month without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off a paid plan.
