This is a really awesome application of GPT-3. You should definitely consider turning this into a service and adding the ability to generate Anki decks or flash cards from summary notes. That coupled with the quizzing capability could be huge for students in medical school for example.

as a med student, i'd 100% pay for this service if it can take my in house lecture ppts as input

I agree file upload would be great. I almost added before launch, but figured it would take a while to do properly. I'll try and monetize it a bit this week as the bills are getting high quickly, this can probably be a paid feature.

        The text must not be greater than 3000 characters.

Please no. Writing good quizzes is really hard and the last thing we need is to throw ai into the mix

Not sure what the problem is? If the AI outputs bad quizzes, you have nothing to worry about, no one would use it. If the output is good, then it seems like it's a win-win?

Shameless plug about our note-taking and flashcards app Notefuel that is built on this idea: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notefuel-notes-flashcards/id14...

Uses GPT-3 to generates question, fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice and couples it with spaced repetition.

This is really cool. I saw a similar tool, https://www.questgen.ai/, I am not a teacher, though.

I tried with a text in Non-English language and it understood very well the text and the questions were "translated" in English.

If someone built this as a Chrome extension to quiz based off my browsing I’d totally pay for it.
