Short answer: Intrazero's AI Questions engine reads a document you already have — a PDF, Word file, PowerPoint deck, or plain text — and automatically generates exam-ready questions from its content. You choose the question types, the difficulty, and the language; the AI produces the questions, answer keys, and distractors in minutes instead of hours.
Writing assessments by hand is one of the most time-consuming parts of teaching and training. A single chapter can take an instructor an hour or more to turn into a fair, well-balanced quiz. AI Questions — part of Intrazero's iTest examination platform — removes that bottleneck by generating questions directly from your own source material.
What is AI Questions?
AI Questions is a document-to-assessment engine. Instead of starting from a blank page, you start from the material you already teach. Feed it a lecture PDF, a training manual, or a set of slides, and it extracts the key concepts and writes questions that test them — complete with correct answers and plausible distractors for multiple-choice items.
It is API-first, so it can run inside your own learning platform, and it already powers real exams: institutions including Ajman University use it, and the engine has generated more than 13,000 questions to date.
How it works, step by step
- Upload your document. AI Questions accepts PDF, DOCX (Word), PPTX (PowerPoint), and plain text or Markdown. Arabic and other UTF-8 content is fully supported.
- Choose what you need. Select the question types, how many questions, and a difficulty level — easy, medium, hard, or a mixed set that mirrors a real exam.
- Let the AI generate. The engine analyses the document, identifies the testable concepts, and writes each question with its answer key and distractors.
- Review and export. Edit anything you want, then push the questions straight into your LMS or exam platform.
15 question types out of the box
Good assessment is not just multiple choice. AI Questions can generate 15 different question types, so you can match the format to the learning objective — from simple recall to higher-order reasoning. That includes multiple choice, true/false, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and matching, with answer keys generated alongside every item.
Built for Arabic and 17 other languages
AI Questions works in 18 languages, with first-class Arabic support — including right-to-left text and Arabic-language source documents. For institutions across Egypt, the Gulf, and the wider MENA region, that means you can generate assessments in the same language you teach in, without translating your content first.
From documents to graded results
Question generation is only the start. The same platform closes the loop on assessment:
- Auto-grading for paper exams — scan handwritten answer sheets and get per-question scores with OCR.
- AI essay marking — score free-text answers against a rubric, with per-criterion feedback.
- Bubble-sheet (OMR) grading — scan multiple-choice answer sheets and decode student identity from a QR code.
So a question that starts as a line in a PDF can be generated, delivered, and graded inside one system.
Drop it into your LMS
Because AI Questions is exposed as a REST API, you can call it from your own portal or product. Moodle users can install the local_aiquestionbuilder plugin to generate and import questions without leaving the course. Access is managed per institution, with usage quotas, rate limiting, and a full audit trail of every request.
Why it matters
For teaching teams, the payoff is time: assessments that took hours are ready in minutes, freeing instructors to focus on teaching rather than question-writing. For programme leads, it means more frequent, more varied testing without extra workload — and a consistent question bank built straight from approved course material.
