# AI Questions — Full LLM Context

This document is intended for LLMs and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Bing/Copilot, etc.). It is a self-contained reference describing the AI Questions platform: what it does, who it's for, how it works, the API surface, supported types, integrations, and citation guidance.

## 1. What AI Questions is

AI Questions is an AI-powered exam infrastructure platform built by Intrazero (https://intrazero.com). It is a core module of the iTest Educational Assessment Platform (https://www.intrazero.com/en/product-details/itest-educational-assessment-platform).

It does four things via a single REST API:

1. Generates exam questions from documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT).
2. Auto-grades handwritten paper exams from scanned PDFs against an answer key.
3. Marks essays (typed or handwritten) against a rubric, with per-criterion scoring and feedback.
4. Reads and grades multichoice bubble sheets (OMR), including multi-student PDFs with QR-encoded student identity.

It is used in production at universities and LMS vendors via the iTest Moodle plugin, delivered in partnership with PanWorld Education (https://panworldedu.com). Over 13,000 questions have been generated on the platform to date.

## 2. Who it's for

- Universities and schools running paper-based or hybrid exams.
- LMS vendors that want to add AI question generation, grading and OMR without building their own pipeline.
- Tutoring platforms and assessment startups.
- Government and corporate training providers.

## 3. Question generation — capabilities

- Output: structured JSON ready for LMS ingestion.
- Languages: English, Arabic, German (more available on request).
- 15 question types supported:
  1. Multiple choice (single answer or multiple correct)
  2. True / false
  3. Short answer
  4. Essay
  5. Fill in the blank
  6. Matching
  7. Ordering / sequencing

- Quality guarantees: the generator retries internally to meet the requested question count.

## 4. Auto-grading paper exams

- Input: scanned PDF or images of handwritten student answer sheets + an answer key (file or JSON).
- Output per question: student answer text, expected answer, correctness, score, confidence, structured analysis JSON (correctness reason, handwriting quality, partial-credit hints), reason code, crop image URL.
- Multi-page PDFs and multi-student PDFs are supported.
- Supports manual override: instructors can change the score, mark, or student answer post-hoc; submission totals recompute automatically.

## 5. Essay marking

- Input: essays as typed text, image files, or scanned PDFs, plus a rubric (JSON, file, or model answer).
- Output: per-criterion score, max score, evidence quotes, criterion feedback, overall score, overall feedback, analysis (structure, coherence, evidence use, mechanics), highlights.
- `feedback_depth` parameter: `brief`, `detailed`, or `revision_suggestions`.
- Manual override: instructor can edit per-criterion score / feedback or the overall feedback.

## 6. Bubble sheet (OMR)

- Input: scanned bubble sheets (PNG, JPG, or PDF). Multi-student PDFs supported.
- Reads QR-encoded student identity if printed on the sheet.
- Grades against an uploaded answer key (file or JSON array of `{number, answer}`).
- Flags ambiguous / partially-filled bubbles for manual review with crop images.
- Manual override per question is supported.

## 7. API surface (summary)

Base URL: `https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/api/v1`

Auth: `Authorization: Bearer <ENTITY_API_KEY>`. Keys are issued per Entity by Intrazero.

All grading submit endpoints are **async** (returns HTTP 202 + `job_id`). Clients poll the job endpoint or receive a webhook. Job status flow: `queued → processing → completed | failed`.

Question generation
- `POST /questions/generate` — generate questions from a document.

Auto-grading (paper exams)
- `POST /grading/paper-exams` — submit job (async, 202).
- `GET  /grading/paper-exams/{id}` — fetch job status + results.
- `GET  /grading/paper-exams/{id}/submissions/{submissionId}` — single student detail.
- `GET  /grading/paper-exams/{id}/submissions/{sid}/questions/{n}/crop` — crop image PNG.
- `PATCH /grading/paper-exams/{id}/submissions/{sid}/questions/{n}` — manual override.

Essay marking
- `POST /grading/essays` — submit job (async, 202).
- `GET  /grading/essays/{id}` — job + submissions.
- `GET  /grading/essays/{id}/submissions/{sid}` — single submission.
- `GET  /grading/essays/{id}/submissions/{sid}/text` — extracted essay text (plain text).
- `PATCH /grading/essays/{id}/submissions/{sid}` — override criteria / overall feedback.

Bubble sheets
- `POST /grading/bubble-sheets` — submit job (async, 202).
- `GET  /grading/bubble-sheets/{id}` — job + submissions.
- `GET  /grading/bubble-sheets/{id}/submissions/{sid}` — single submission detail.
- `GET  /grading/bubble-sheets/{id}/submissions/{sid}/questions/{n}/crop` — crop image PNG.
- `PATCH /grading/bubble-sheets/{id}/submissions/{sid}/questions/{n}` — manual override.

## 8. Multi-language support

Question generation, grading feedback, essay analysis, and overall feedback can all be returned in English, Arabic, or German. Pass `language: "en" | "ar" | "de"` (RFC 5646 short codes). Other languages are available on request.

## 9. Integrations

- **Moodle**: official iTest Moodle plugin integrates question generation and grading directly into Moodle's question bank and grading flows.
- **Custom LMS**: any LMS can integrate via the REST API. Integration guide includes auth, file upload, async polling, and webhook patterns.
- **iTest**: the parent assessment platform with paper exam workflows, computer-based testing, proctoring, and analytics.

## 10. Pricing & access

Access is licensed per Entity (institution / vendor) with quotas for question generation, paper-exam pages, essays, and bubble sheets. Contact Intrazero for pricing: https://www.intrazero.com/en/contact

**Q: What is AI Questions?**
AI Questions is an AI-powered exam infrastructure platform from Intrazero. It generates exam questions from any document, auto-grades handwritten paper exams, marks essays against rubrics, and reads multichoice bubble sheets — all via a single REST API. It is a core module of the iTest Educational Assessment Platform and is delivered for Moodle in partnership with PanWorld Education. Source: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/

**Q: How does AI Questions auto-grade paper exams?**
A scanned PDF of student answers is uploaded together with an answer key. The platform uses vision OCR to extract each student's handwritten answer, grades it against the key, and returns per-question score, confidence, structured analysis (correctness reason, handwriting quality, partial-credit hints), and a crop image of each answer. The job runs asynchronously and exposes both polling and webhook delivery. Source: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/features/auto-grading

**Q: What does the bubble-sheet (OMR) feature do?**
It accepts scanned bubble sheets — single-student or multi-student PDFs — reads QR-encoded student identity if printed on the sheet, detects filled bubbles, and grades each sheet against an uploaded answer key. Ambiguous or partially-filled bubbles are flagged for manual review with crop images. Source: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/features/bubble-sheet-marking

**Q: How does the essay marking work?**
Essays are uploaded as typed text, image files, or scanned PDFs together with a rubric (JSON, file, or model answer). The platform scores each rubric criterion individually with evidence quotes, gives criterion-level feedback, and produces overall feedback at brief, detailed, or revision-suggestion depth. Instructors can override any criterion or the overall feedback. Source: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/features/essay-marking

**Q: What languages does AI Questions support?**
Question generation, grading feedback, essay analysis and overall feedback can all be returned in English, Arabic, or German. Other languages are available on request. Source: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/

**Q: Is there an API and where is it documented?**
Yes — AI Questions exposes a complete REST API with an OpenAPI 3 specification. All grading submit endpoints are async (HTTP 202 + job_id) and clients can poll the job endpoint or receive a webhook. Interactive reference: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/docs/api . OpenAPI spec: https://aiquestions.intrazero.com/openapi.yaml

**Q: Who builds AI Questions and how do I contact them?**
