How I Built an AI-Powered Quiz Generator Using Python, Flask, and GPT

How I Built an AI-Powered Quiz Generator Using Python, Flask, and GPT

🧠 What’s This All About?

Okay so picture this:
You’re reading a massive Wikipedia article on something like “Photosynthesis” and you’re like…
“Ughhh, I wish someone could just turn this into a quiz.”

So I built that.
It’s called QuizifyAI, and it turns any topic into instant multiple-choice questions using Python, Flask, and the magic of GPT.

No more info overload. Just clean, AI-powered study mode. 🧪💥

🔧 Tools I Played With

Here’s the tech stack I used:

  • 🐍 Python – for the main engine
  • 🌐 Flask – backend web framework
  • 🧠 OpenAI GPT – to generate quiz questions
  • 📚 Wikipedia API – to fetch topic summaries
  • 💅 HTML/CSS + Bootstrap – for the frontend

Basically: small, powerful stack. Big brain energy. 💡

⚙️ How It Works (In Plain English)

  1. You type a topic (say, “Photosynthesis”)
  2. The app fetches summary from Wikipedia
  3. GPT turns it into 5 MCQs
  4. You get a quiz, instantly

Literally that simple.

📦 Code Glimpse (No Gatekeeping)

python

CopyEdit

python

CopyEdit

import wikipedia

from openai import OpenAI

topic = "Photosynthesis"

summary = wikipedia.summary(topic, sentences=5)

prompt = f"Create 5 multiple-choice questions with 4 options each based on the text: {summary}"

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(

  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",

  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]

)

💡 What I Learned (Real Talk)

  • GPT is wild but needs good prompts — vague = trash output
  • Flask is amazing for MVPs — fast, clean, no bloat
  • AI + web = ✨ magic ✨ if you keep things lightweight

🧪 Sample Output

Input: Photosynthesis
Generated Q:

What pigment helps in photosynthesis?
 A) Hemoglobin
B) Chlorophyll ✅
C) Keratin
D) Melanin

Bro it actually works — and it feels like cheating (but smart cheating 😎).

🔮 Next Steps

  • Add Flashcard Mode
  • Deploy it on Vercel/Render
  • Let users save quiz history
  • Maybe drop a Chrome Extension?

Yup. I’m cooking.

🤝 Wrap Up

This was just a passion build. One weekend. No overthinking. Just me, Python, GPT, and a bunch of debugging.

If you’re into AI, learning tech, or just building weird useful stuff – try mixing APIs like this. You’ll be surprised at how far you can go with a simple idea and the right tools.
