How Wayground AI works
There are 6 ways to create quizzes with Wayground AI from various types of content:
- From documents : Create questions from learning materials (presentations or text) and PDF, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG files. Wayground AI will scan the content and generate relevant questions.
- From the command : Enter a command or paste text, Wayground AI will generate questions based on the content you input.
- From a website : Paste a link to a website, and the AI will automatically process the content and create a quiz from it.
- From YouTube videos : Search for or paste the YouTube video URL, and Wayground AI will generate questions related to the video content.
- Upload images : Use the Wayground app on your phone to take or upload images of your documents, and the AI will convert them into questions for the test/quiz.
After Wayground AI finishes creating a quiz, users can edit the question content, change the question format, add or remove answer options, and insert images, videos, audio, etc., as desired to complete the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wayground AI
What is Wayground AI?

Is Wayground AI usable on a phone?
- Yes, it's possible. Wayground AI supports the Quizizz mobile app, allowing users to take photos of documents or upload images for the AI to automatically generate questions from those images.
How is Wayground AI different from creating quizzes manually on Quizizz?

What are the best features of Wayground?
The ability to conduct private or class-based assignments is a useful option. This allows teachers to assign individualized tests tailored to each student, or work as a class, receiving feedback on how the entire class is working on a particular subject. The advantage of class assignments is that everyone can see their classmates' results. Similarly, individual assignments can be ideal for those who prefer solitude, or for assigning homework.
Wayground offers leaderboards, but teachers can choose to turn this feature off if the competitive aspect isn't suitable for the students. The same can be said about timers, which can motivate some students but may put unnecessary pressure on others – so the ability to turn this feature on and off is a plus.
Additionally, meme and music feedback options are also customizable. Enabling these options can make the quiz very fun and lively, or you can disable them for a more serious learning experience.
