Generated question slides with Authoring AI (beta)

Turn existing presentation content into ready-to-use quiz questions directly inside your presentation using Authoring AI. You control the question count, format, language, and focus area, so you can build engaging assessments in seconds.

Authoring AI creates questions from the text in your presentation. This includes text on slides built from PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Brainshark slides, plus any slide notes and captions.

Note: This feature is currently in beta. For more information about Brainshark functionalities and features, you can visit this resource.

You need this to succeed

The quick way

1. In the Admin App, go to Libraries>Brainsharks, click the Brainshark's name, and select Edit Brainshark.
2. Choose how you want to generate questions:
   • From the whole presentation: In the Slides menu, select Question, then click Generate.

Open the presentation editor

1. In the Admin App, go to Libraries.
2. Under Content, select Brainsharks.

   Note: Authoring AI can’t read video or HTML5 content directly. To include a video in question generation, transcribe it using the Generate Captions and Notes option in the Tools menu. Once the captions and notes are ready, Authoring AI can use them to create questions.

   • Language: Choose from the languages enabled for your organization.
   • Focus (optional): Enter custom instructions to guide Authoring AI (for example, "Focus on technical specifications" or "Emphasize compliance requirements").
4. Click Generate. The new question slides land directly inside your presentation.
