Build Assessments From Your Own Course Material

Bo is a course-scoped study agent. You upload your own material and Bo answers only from it. Built for your course, not for the internet. That means the quizzes and practice exams Bo builds come straight from the readings, slides, and notes you already use, not from a generic question bank.

Upload, then generate:

StepWhat you doWhat Bo does
1. UploadDrop in your PDFs, scans, photos, lecture videos, or web pagesReads every page and ties it to the concepts it covers
2. AskTell Bo to build a quiz or a practice examDrafts questions grounded in your material
3. ReviewRead each item and its citationShows the exact page or source behind every question

Bo handles scanned and handwritten PDFs, photos of pages, YouTube lectures, and websites. Every question it writes points back to a specific page, second, or source, so you can check it in one click.

Create Quizzes and Practice Exams

You ask, Bo drafts. Bo builds two assessment kinds from your uploads: a quiz for quick checks and a practice exam for full coverage. Both come out in your own language and tagged to the concepts in your course.

What you get:

  • Grounded questions: Every item is drawn from your material, not invented
  • Citations on each item: A page or source reference you can open and verify
  • Concept tags: Each question is linked to the concept it tests
  • Your language: Bo writes in the language of your course

You stay in control. Read each question, keep the ones that fit, and ask Bo to redo the rest. Because the source is cited, checking a question takes seconds.

Track Mastery Concept by Concept

Every artifact Bo builds feeds per-concept mastery tracking. As questions get answered, Bo records which concepts are solid and which still need work, so you can see where understanding is thin before a test rather than after.

Mastery features:

  • Per-concept progress: See which topics are covered and which are weak
  • Tied to real questions: Mastery moves from actual quiz and exam attempts
  • Whole-course view: Track progress across everything you have uploaded
  • No guesswork: Gaps are pinpointed by concept, not by a vague score

Build Study Material Alongside Assessments

Bo builds seven artifact kinds from the same uploaded course: flashcards, quiz, practice exam, study guide, cheat sheet, summary, and mind map. So the same material that powers your assessments also gives students something to study from.

The seven kinds:

  • Flashcards for spaced review
  • Quiz for quick checks
  • Practice exam for full-length practice
  • Study guide for structured review
  • Cheat sheet for a dense one-pager
  • Summary for the big picture
  • Mind map for how concepts connect

Each one is cited and concept-tagged, so a weak spot a quiz reveals leads straight to the study guide section that covers it.

Export to PDF, Word, or Anki

What Bo builds is yours to take with you. Export any quiz or practice exam to PDF or Word to print or hand out, or send flashcards to Anki for spaced repetition. No lock-in, no extra step.

Export options:

  • PDF: Clean printable assessments and answer keys
  • Word: Editable files you can adjust before sharing
  • Anki: Flashcard decks for review outside the app

Verify Every Question Against the Source

Because Bo answers only from your uploads and cites each item, you can confirm any question against the original page. This is the real edge over generic AI question generators: nothing is pulled from the open internet, so there is no guessing whether a fact matches your syllabus.

Why citations matter:

  • Trace each item: Open the exact page a question came from
  • Catch mismatches fast: Spot anything off against your own material
  • Stay on syllabus: Questions reflect what you taught, not the web
  • Quick review: A cited item is far faster to check than an unsourced one

FAQ: AI Assessment Creation for Teachers

Where do Bo's questions come from?

Your own material. Bo reads the PDFs, slides, notes, videos, and pages you upload and writes questions from them. It does not pull from the open internet, and every item cites the source page or second.

What assessment formats can Bo build?

Quizzes and practice exams. Bo builds a quick quiz or a full-length practice exam, both grounded in your uploads, concept-tagged, and written in your language.

Can I trust the questions without checking them all?

Check the ones that matter in seconds. Each question carries a citation to the exact page or source, so verifying it is one click rather than a manual search.

Can students study from the same material?

Yes. The same upload also powers flashcards, a study guide, a cheat sheet, a summary, and a mind map, all cited and tagged to the same concepts.

How does Bo show what students have and have not learned?

Per-concept mastery. Every quiz and exam attempt feeds mastery tracking, so you see which concepts are solid and which are weak across the whole course.

Can I export and print assessments?

Yes. Export any quiz or exam to PDF or Word to print or edit, and send flashcards to Anki for review.

What does it cost to start?

Free to start. The free plan is free forever with no card required and a generous budget. Paid Pro and Ultra plans add more room when you need it.
