Example Workflows​

Solar System Quiz Generator​

Scenario: Create an automated quiz generator that produces multiple-choice questions about the solar system.

Generate Question Via AI Example

Steps to Create the Flow:

  1. Start with the Start Node.

  2. Add and connect a Text node with instructions for question generation:

    Generate questions about the solar system.
    • Enable Encrypt the text if needed for security.

  3. Add and connect a Generate Question Via AI Node:

    i. Choose the Process Type: GPT-4o-mini (for efficient question generation)

    ii. Select Type: Check Multiple-Choice Questions

    iii. Set Number of Questions: Enter 1 (or your desired number)

    iv. Connect the Text node's Output to Instruction

  4. Add and connect a Display Quiz node:

    • Connect the AI-Generated Quiz JSON output to the Display Quiz node's Input
    • Configure Display Quiz settings:
      • Show Answers: Enable to display correct answers
      • Set Score, Base Score, and User Responses connections as needed

  5. Add a Text Join node (optional) to combine results with other content.

  6. Add Display Text to show the final output.

Example Generated Question:

{
  "question": "Which planet is known as the Red Planet?",
  "options": [
    "Mars",
    "Venus",
    "Jupiter",
    "Saturn"
  ],
  "correctAnswer": "Mars"
}

Result: Users receive automatically generated quiz questions about the solar system that can be immediately displayed and used for assessment.

Multi-Topic Assessment Generator​

Scenario: Generate a comprehensive assessment with multiple questions on a specific topic.

Steps to Create the Flow:

  1. Start with the Start Node.

  2. Add and connect a Text node with detailed instructions:

    Generate challenging questions about photosynthesis for high school biology students. 
    Include questions about the light-dependent reactions, Calvin cycle, and factors 
    affecting photosynthesis rate.

  3. Add and connect a Generate Question Via AI Node:

    i. Choose the Process Type: GPT-4o (for more sophisticated questions)

    ii. Select Type: Check Multiple-Choice Questions

    iii. Set Number of Questions: Enter 5

    iv. Connect the Text node's Output to Instruction

  4. Add Display Quiz node to present the generated questions:

    • Connect AI-Generated Quiz JSON to Display Quiz input
    • Enable Show Answers for review mode
    • Configure scoring parameters

  5. Add Display Text to show completion message or additional instructions.

  • Quickly generate multiple questions on complex topics
  • Consistent question quality using advanced AI models
  • JSON output ready for immediate use in quiz displays
  • Customizable difficulty and focus areas through instructions

True/False Quick Assessment​

Scenario: Create a rapid true/false assessment for concept verification.

Steps to Create the Flow:

  1. Start with the Start Node.

  2. Add and connect a Text node with instructions:

    Generate true/false questions about the water cycle, including evaporation, 
    condensation, precipitation, and collection.

  3. Add and connect a Generate Question Via AI Node:

    i. Choose the Process Type: GPT-4o-mini

    ii. Select Type: Check True/False

    iii. Set Number of Questions: Enter 3

    iv. Connect the Text node's Output to Instruction

  4. Add Display Quiz node to show the true/false questions.

  5. Add Display Text for results and feedback.

Example Generated Questions:

  • "Evaporation is the process where water vapor turns into liquid water. (False)"
  • "Precipitation includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail. (True)"
  • "The water cycle is a continuous process. (True)"

Result: Quick and effective true/false assessments that test fundamental understanding of key concepts.
