Turn any web page into a quiz

Most quiz tools start with a blank grid. You type question one, four answers, mark the right one, then do it nineteen more times. The thinking is done before you open the tool — the tool just takes the dictation.

Yippito can start from a link instead. Paste the URL of an article and it fetches the page, reads it, and writes questions grounded in what is actually on it.

What it looks like

Here is a real one. We pasted the Wikipedia article on photosynthesis and asked for four medium multiple-choice questions. It took under four seconds:

The quiz even took its name from the page’s own title. Nobody typed a word of it.

Why a link beats a topic

Yippito can also write from a bare topic — say “photosynthesis” — and it will, using what the model already knows about the world. That is fine for a pub quiz. It is not fine for a classroom, because you have no idea which version of the subject you are going to get.

A link pins it down. The questions come from the text you pointed at, so they match the material your class actually read. That matters most when the content is yours: your lesson page, your handbook, your product docs. No model knows those. It can only read them.

Things worth trying

Point it at this morning’s news article and run a comprehension round before the story goes stale. Point it at a page from your own course and get a revision quiz that follows the lesson rather than drifting off it. Point it at your onboarding docs and check whether the new starters actually read them.

Where it struggles

It is worth being straight about the edges, because you will hit them.

A long, dense article gives you hard questions. Wikipedia’s photosynthesis page runs deep into bacterial pigments, and asking for “medium” still produced a question about anoxygenic purple bacteria — technically drawn from the page, and much too spicy for a year 9 class. Point it at a page pitched at your audience and you get questions pitched there too.

It reads the page, not the web. It follows the one link you give it and stops. Very long pages get trimmed, so a book-length article will yield questions from the earlier parts.

It needs a readable page — an ordinary article your browser can open, not something behind a login. If what you have is a PDF, it has its own source: pick PDF → Quiz, and your browser reads the file without ever uploading it. A YouTube video has one too, though YouTube makes you copy the transcript across by hand — it will not hand captions to anyone but its own player.

And you should read what it writes. It is fast and it is grounded, but every question lands in the editor before it lands in front of your class. Change anything you like.

How to do it

Sign in, open AI Studio, and pick Web page → Quiz. Paste the link, choose how many questions and how hard, and generate. You will be looking at a draft in a few seconds, and it opens straight in the editor. When you are happy, host it and share the PIN — players join with no account at all.
