Turn a PowerPoint into a quiz in two steps.

Why slides need a little help

Slides are designed to support a speaker, not to stand alone. A typical slide has a heading and a few short bullet points, with the real explanation delivered out loud. When AI reads only the slides, it sees fragments, so questions can end up shallow or overly literal.

The fix is simple: give it more of the lesson. Include speaker notes when you export, or add a few sentences of instruction describing what the lesson actually taught.

Exporting with speaker notes

In PowerPoint, you can export to PDF with notes pages instead of slides only, which places each slide above its speaker notes. In Google Slides, you can download as PDF and choose to include speaker notes. Either way, the resulting PDF gives AI the explanations behind each bullet point.

If your deck has no notes, consider writing two or three lines per key slide before exporting. It improves the quiz and makes the deck more useful to anyone who reads it later.

Trim the deck first

Title slides, agenda slides, section dividers, and 'any questions?' slides add nothing to a quiz. Removing them before exporting keeps the input focused on content. For long decks, export only the slides from one lesson or module rather than an entire course.

Image-heavy slides with little text may produce few or no questions; if a diagram is central to the lesson, write a sentence describing it in the notes.

Lecture follow-up in minutes

One of the best uses of slide-to-quiz is a same-day follow-up. After a lecture or training session, export the deck, generate eight to ten questions, review them, and share the link before participants leave or in the group chat that evening. Retrieval practice within a day of the lesson strengthens memory far more than a test weeks later.

Because the questions come straight from what was presented, participants can see clearly how the quiz connects to the session.

Checking generated questions

Review each question against what you actually said, not only what is on the slide. Bullet points can be ambiguous out of context, so a question may be technically consistent with the slide but miss the point you made. Rewrite or remove any question that tests wording rather than understanding.

Adding a free text question at the end, asking participants to explain the main idea in their own words, balances the auto-graded questions.

Reusing across sessions

Trainers who deliver the same deck repeatedly should save reviewed questions to the Question Bank tagged by module. Each new cohort can then take the same tested quiz, or a shuffled selection, without regenerating. Over several cohorts, Question Performance shows which slides consistently leave people confused, which is a useful signal for improving the deck itself.

Example: a training deck to a check quiz

A trainer delivering a thirty-slide customer service module exports the deck to PDF with notes pages, removing the title, agenda, and closing slides first. She attaches the PDF with the instruction 'scenario-based questions for new customer service staff' and asks for twelve questions.

After review she keeps ten, adds one free text question asking participants to describe how they would handle an angry caller, turns on email collection, and shares the link in the session chat. Before the next cohort, she checks Question Performance and rewrites the two slides that most people misunderstood.

Quick checklist before exporting

Remove title, agenda, and divider slides. Add or expand speaker notes on key slides. Describe important diagrams in a sentence. Export only the slides for one lesson or module. Choose the notes-pages layout when saving to PDF.

Then, in the AI tab, state the audience and question style, request a few more questions than you need, and review every question against what you actually taught.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a PowerPoint file directly? Export it to PDF first, ideally with notes pages, then attach the PDF in the AI tab. What about Google Slides? Download as PDF and include speaker notes where the option is offered.
