Generate Exam Questions
This workflow automatically generates high-quality exam questions from the content of articles in Google Docs using AI technology, including open-ended questions and multiple-choice questions. By combining vector databases with advanced language models, the process can deeply understand the document's content, extract key knowledge points, and quickly generate exam questions that meet educational needs. This significantly improves the efficiency of question creation while ensuring the quality and diversity of the questions, making it suitable for various scenarios such as educational institutions, online training platforms, and corporate training.

Workflow Name
Generate Exam Questions
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow leverages AI technology to automatically generate high-quality exam questions from article content in Google Docs, covering both open-ended questions and multiple-choice questions. By integrating the vector database Qdrant with advanced language models such as OpenAI Embeddings and Google Gemini, it achieves deep understanding and knowledge extraction from documents. This enables automatic generation of exam questions that meet educational requirements, significantly reducing manual effort while ensuring question quality and diversity.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional exam question design is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with challenges in ensuring balanced coverage and appropriate difficulty levels. This workflow automates the process, addressing inefficiencies and inconsistent question quality. It supports deep comprehension of document content and multi-perspective question design, enhancing the scientific rigor and relevance of educational assessments.
Application Scenarios
- Automatic generation of course exam questions for educators in educational institutions
- Rapid creation of quiz question banks for online training platforms
- Bulk generation of learning assessment questions for instructional content developers
- Automation of internal training and evaluation within enterprises
- Any scenario requiring automatic design of Q&A questions based on textual content
Main Process Steps
- Create and refresh Qdrant vector database collections to prepare for subsequent document vector storage.
- Retrieve educational article content from Google Docs and convert the document content into Markdown format.
- Split and vectorize the text, then store it in the Qdrant database.
- Use language models such as Google Gemini and OpenAI Embeddings to generate 10 open-ended questions and 10 multiple-choice questions based on the document content.
- Apply Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques combined with vector database queries to generate the best answers and multiple distractors for each question.
- Write the generated questions and answers into Google Sheets for easy review and management.
