Author Aide

Wave goodbye to generic questions
Take the strain away from your SMEs’ workload without losing quality or context by leveraging AI-generated questions that are prompted by your own training material and content.
Whether it’s internal training material, complex manuals or training courses, you can provide Author Aide with your specific content and watch as it creates questions that are tailored to your needs within seconds.
Just copy and paste passages from your own content directly into the source field, or if you prefer, upload a PDF using our secure file upload feature for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The better the context you provide, the better the results, so you can say goodbye to generic questions without losing the detail.

GPT-4 is used for item generation. However, our intention is to be foundation-model agnostic to adopt and adapt models that best fit their intended purpose.
Author Aide brings the innovation without the data privacy risk. Create tests and write prompts safe in the knowledge that your proprietary information remains proprietary to you and is not stored or used as training material for any AI model.
All of our current AI architecture uses LLMs, which at this time rarely cite their sources well or consistently. Because of this, all AI-generated content should be treated as a draft in need of human review – especially if you aren’t using your own specialist content for it to create questions etc. from.
We don’t rely on just one LLM. Instead, we use the best LLM for each specific task. It’s also subject to change as LLMs inevitably get better in terms of affordability or their ability to successfully handle source material better. When choosing the best LLM for a task, we always adopt a data-driven approach, often comparing AI functionality to human ability.
Yes, selecting the Bloom’s Taxonomy option makes a huge difference in what questions you can generate in terms of complexity.
Author Aide’s translation abilities are still a work in progress, but so far its ability is very good. It can output questions in other languages, albeit this is not extensively tested and, as always, human review is essential.
By design and in its current state, Author Aide isn’t automatically fed your items and therefore can’t know if it’s duplicating content. As part of our ongoing AI work, we are looking at the possibility of using AI to search for duplicate items.
