QuizWiz: Integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence in an Online Study Tool

Published: 24 January 2025 Publication History

Abstract

The recent emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, has introduced revolutionary capabilities that are predicted to transform numerous facets of society. For students, the advent of GenAI has the potential to profoundly alter studying and learning practices. This paper presents the development of QuizWiz: a web application that provides innovative study tools integrating GenAI. QuizWiz includes two GenAI features, (1) generating study flashcards with questions and answers from uploaded study material and (2) answering study questions with an intelligent chatbot. We detail the technical aspects of developing tools that integrate GenAI, as well as provide recommendations for developers and academics interested in the use of GenAI for students.
