Tips For Reducing Mistakes & Improving AI Results

Learn how to generate better quality AI questions with Quizgecko! Tips on text length, modes, and using Custom Instructions for accuracy.

Updated today

We understand it can be frustrating when the generated questions aren't as accurate or relevant as you'd like. This guide will help you improve the quality of your AI-generated questions by explaining the importance of providing enough content for the AI to analyze.

Quick Tips:

  • Enter 1,000+ characters for the best results.

  • Use "Auto" mode whenever possible, or ensure you've added plenty of text.

  • Try "Topic Search" mode if you don’t have much content to provide.

Why Providing Enough Text Matters

When using our question generator, the amount of text you provide plays a big role in the accuracy of the questions. The AI relies on this content to understand the context, which helps it generate more precise and relevant questions.

If you enter only a small amount of text, the AI has less context to work with, increasing the chances of inaccuracies or irrelevant details.

What to Do If You Have Limited Text

If you don’t have much content to input, try using the Topic Search mode. This feature searches the web for relevant public sources to support the AI in generating questions. It helps reduce inaccuracies and provides a broader knowledge base for the AI to draw from.

Best Practices for Generating Questions

  • Aim for at least 1,000 characters of content. This provides the AI with enough context to create around five well-crafted questions.

  • Keep "Auto" mode enabled to let the AI adjust based on the content length.

  • For longer content, feel free to set the limit higher to generate more questions.

⚠️ Note: Trying to force the AI to create more questions from very limited content can lead to mistakes. Providing richer content helps maintain quality and accuracy.

Using Custom Instructions (Available on Ultra & Organization Plans)

For even greater control over your AI-generated content, Ultra and Organization subscribers can take advantage of the new Custom Instructions feature. This allows you to provide specific guidelines that the AI will parse and apply to question generation, as well as flashcards and study notes.

With Custom Instructions, you can:

  • Direct the AI to focus on particular topics or concepts.

  • Specify the style or complexity of the questions.

  • Highlight areas you’d like the AI to emphasize or avoid.

Simply add your instructions before generating content, and the AI will incorporate them into its process, ensuring your output aligns more closely with your needs.

By following these tips, you’ll get better, more relevant questions every time!
