A document in, a quiz out

The PDF to Quiz app takes a PDF or Word file and an optional quiz name, and makes a quiz that checks people read it. The same app runs over MCP, with the name passed as the title.

What you can ask

Ask for a quiz on the document people have to read.

Your assistant runs PDF to Quiz on a file in your Docsie workspace. For a quiz inside training, it runs Video to Course or PDF to Course instead.

  • app_run · pdf-to-quiz
  • app_run_status
  • app_run_result

A quiz built from that policy, named after the document because no title was given.

ChatGPT

“Turn the lockout procedure PDF into a quiz called LOTO Check.”

  • app_run · pdf-to-quiz
  • app_run_result

A quiz named LOTO Check with questions taken from the procedure.

How quiz making works over MCP.

Put the document in Docsie

Upload the PDF or Word file to your Docsie workspace, or pick one that's already there.

Ask for the quiz

Say which file to use and give the quiz a name if you want one. Your assistant runs PDF to Quiz and follows the run.

Check it before you send it

Read the questions your assistant brings back, and review the quiz in Docsie before anyone takes it.

Permissions and limits

What to tick, and what it costs.

Tick Workspace create and edit

Running PDF to Quiz needs the Workspace create and edit pack, which is off by default on Docsie's sign-in screen. Reading results only needs search and read.

AI credits

FAQ

Common questions

Can ChatGPT or Claude make a quiz from a PDF?

Which files work?

PDF and Word files in your Docsie workspace.

Can I name the quiz?

Yes. Give it a title in your request. Without one, the quiz is named after the document.

Can I make a quiz from a video?

Yes, as part of a course. Video to Course turns a recording into lessons and a quiz, and PDF to Course does the same for a document.
