— HOW ASKAIDE WORKS

How a question gets made — and checked.

Every AskAide practice question is written by AI from the NCERT chapter you are studying, checked automatically before it is saved, and open to correction by the students who answer it. Here is exactly what happens, including what we do not do yet.

— THE PIPELINE

Six steps from textbook to question

  1. 01

    The chapter comes first

    Our team uploads the NCERT textbook chapter as a PDF. The text is extracted and cleaned, summarised, split into its topics, and stored in a search index — one index entry per short passage of the chapter.

  2. 02

    Questions are written from that chapter

    When a student practises a chapter, passages from that same chapter (and its topics) are pulled from the index and handed to a large language model together with the chapter summary. The model is told to write questions only from that material, tag each one with the topic it tests, and write a short explanation for the answer.

  3. 03

    Every question is checked automatically

    Each question must arrive in a fixed format. A multiple-choice question needs four options and exactly one valid correct answer; a fill-in-the-blank needs a blank and an answer. Questions that fail are sent back to the model with the reason and regenerated.

  4. 04

    Repeats are removed

    Before a question is saved it is compared with every question already in that chapter. Exact repeats — ignoring capitals and punctuation — are dropped, and questions without a clear correct answer are discarded.

  5. 05

    Options are shuffled every time

    The order of the four options is shuffled each time a question is shown, so the right answer is not always in the same position and students cannot pattern-match their way through a set.

  6. 06

    Students flag anything wrong

    Every question has a "Report a problem with this question" button, and every explanation can be rated. Reports go to our review inbox, where the team checks them.

— HONEST LIMITS

What AskAide does not do (yet)

No human review before a question is shown

Questions are checked automatically, not by a teacher, before students see them. We are looking for subject teachers to review question sets — if that is you, write to us from the About page.

Not previous-year papers

AskAide questions are generated from the NCERT chapter text. They are not copied from, or modelled on, previous-year board papers — use those separately in your final revision.

AI can be wrong

Language models occasionally produce a question or explanation that is unclear or incorrect. That is why the report button exists on every question — it is the fastest way to get one fixed.

Difficulty is your choice

You pick Easy, Medium or Hard for each session. AskAide tracks how you do on every topic, but it does not change the difficulty for you.
— FAQ

Questions about our questions

Where do AskAide questions come from?

They are generated by a large language model from the text of the NCERT chapter you are practising. The chapter is uploaded by our team, split into passages, and those passages are given to the model as the only material to write questions from.

Are AskAide questions checked?

Every question is checked automatically: it must have the right format, four options with exactly one correct answer (for MCQs), and must not repeat a question already in the chapter. Questions are not reviewed by a teacher before they are shown; students can report any question with one tap.

Are the questions from previous-year CBSE papers?

No. They are generated from the NCERT chapter text, not taken from previous-year papers.

What kinds of questions does AskAide make?

Multiple-choice questions with four options and fill-in-the-blank questions, at Easy, Medium or Hard difficulty. Every question comes with a short explanation of the answer.

How does AskAide track progress?

Every answer is saved as you go. For each topic in a chapter AskAide works out a mastery level — Weak, Learning, Practising or Mastered — from how many questions you have answered, how many you got right, how hard they were and how long you took.

Which AI model does AskAide use?

AskAide uses large language models from established AI providers and switches models as better ones become available. The checks described on this page apply whichever model is in use.
