AI Test Creation

Learn how to use AI to quickly generate relevant test questions from your content, saving time while creating comprehensive assessments.

Written by Elle

Building tests from scratch takes time you probably don't have. AI test creation analyzes your content and suggests relevant questions automatically, giving you a strong foundation that you can customize to fit your exact training needs.

Whether you're creating quick knowledge checks or comprehensive assessments, AI helps you move from content to testing in minutes.


How AI Test Creation Works

AI examines your document content and identifies key concepts, procedures, and important information that would benefit from testing. It then suggests questions in various formats that align with your material.

Getting started with AI:

  1. Open the document you want to test

  2. Click New Step, then select New Test Step and Create with AI

  3. Specify the question types you'd like, if you have a preference - multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, text responses, and more

  4. Let AI analyze your content and generate relevant questions

  5. Review suggestions and edit, remove, or keep questions as needed

  6. Add manual questions if you want to include specific scenarios

  7. Configure your settings, save your test, then publish the document when you're ready

The AI creates a solid starting point that you can refine based on your specific training goals and team needs.

💡 Waybook Tip

  • Requesting specific formats gives you the right mix for your assessment strategy. See Understanding Question Types to decide which formats suit your content.


When to Use AI Creation

  • Quick Setup - Get testing in place fast for new procedures or when you need immediate knowledge checks.

  • Comprehensive Coverage - Ensure important concepts don't get overlooked when building extensive assessments.

  • Expanding Existing Tests - Add more questions without duplicating what you already have.

  • Foundation Building - Create a solid starting point that you can customize with your specific scenarios and requirements.


Customizing Your Results

AI gives you a strong foundation, but you stay in complete control. Edit questions to match your exact needs, remove anything that doesn't fit, and add the company-specific scenarios only you would know to include.

Let AI handle the speed and coverage, and bring the real-world detail that makes a test genuinely valuable for your team. If you'd rather write every question yourself, manual test creation gives you that control from the start.
