AI Quiz
What is AI Quiz?
The AI Quiz in Emberly is a great way to test your knowledge and help you memorize your notes. It automatically creates quizzes based on the notes you have taken, so you can easily review the material and track your progress. With the AI Quiz, you can quickly and easily test your understanding of important concepts and topics.
The main types of quizzes you can take are:
- Standard Quiz - A normal multiple-choice quiz where you are asked a question and presented with a selection of possible answers.
- Time Trial - A quiz where you have only 10 seconds to answer the question before it moves on to the next one.
- Sudden Death - A quiz in which the quiz will end if you make a wrong answer, and you will be taken directly to the scoreboard. This is great for those who feel they are confident in their knowledge and want to challenge themselves under pressure.
- Discussion Simulator - This is not a quiz but rather a simulation where you can engage in a discussion using your notes with an AI opponent. For more information, please see further down in this article.

Limitation of AI quiz
Emberly’s AI Quiz uses technology provided by OpenAI, a natural language processing technology, to create the quizzes. While this is a powerful tool, it does have some limitations.
Limitations:
- It may occasionally generate incorrect information
- It may occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content
- Limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021
- May ask the same questions over again
- The AI can’t create a proper quiz for you if you don't have notes that make sense or have too few notes.
Discussion simulator
This is a simulation where you can discuss with an AI opponent. Your opponent will read through your notes and choose a topic to discuss with you. He will most often take an opposite stance of what you have written in your notes. It is then your job to convince your opponent that his stance is false.
Benefits
The AI Discussion Simulator in Emberly is a great way to hone your conversational skills and practice debating topics in a safe and secure environment. With this feature, you can get instant feedback on your arguments and learn from your mistakes without fearing any real-world consequences.
This tool can help you become a better communicator by allowing you to practice your debating skills in a structured environment. You can also learn how to effectively identify different viewpoints, evaluate arguments, and counter opposing opinions.
The AI Discussion Simulator can also help to develop your critical thinking skills by forcing you to think through difficult topics and consider the consequences of different choices. This can be beneficial in a variety of scenarios, from job interviews to public debates.
Overall, the AI Discussion Simulator is a great tool to have in your arsenal as you strive to become a better communicator, thinker, and debater.
Limitations
Due to the discussion simulator being based on artificial intelligence (AI), it has some limitations that need to be taken into account:
- The AI needs enough notes to create a good discussion with a topic that can be discussed.
- Your opponent may make statements that seem illogical or strange at times. This is normal for AI, as it can be unpredictable. To keep the discussion on track, try to bring the AI back to the topic or ask it to provide more specific information.
- If your opponent declares you the loser without sound reasoning, try to remain patient. AI is unpredictable, making it hard to create a reliable discussion simulator. However, we think this environment can be a great way to learn. Instead of seeing the quirks as problems, view them as chances to hone your skills.
Discussion tips
If the conversation has been going on for a while, the AI may start to drift away from the original statement. To keep the conversation focused, try summarizing the original statement and asking if the AI agrees with it. This will usually help the AI understand that it has been defeated!
