Apify AI Agent Actor: Study Quiz Generator

Overview

The Study Quiz Generator is an autonomous AI agent built on Apify that transforms user input into a structured study quiz. Given a user's request (e.g., "I need to study for a quiz about World War 2"), the agent extracts the core topic, scrapes relevant Wikipedia pages asynchronously, and generates a multi-difficulty quiz in various formats (Markdown, HTML, JSON).

Features

• Autonomous Topic Extraction: The agent identifies key study topics from natural language input.
• Asynchronous Web Scraping: Retrieves data from multiple Wikipedia pages simultaneously for efficiency.
• Intelligent Quiz Generation: Constructs easy, medium, and hard questions based on extracted information.
• Multi-Format Output: Outputs quizzes in Markdown, HTML, and structured JSON format for various use cases.

Workflow

1. User Input Processing: The AI agent processes a free-text request to determine the main study topic.
2. Web Scraping: Asynchronously scrapes Wikipedia pages relevant to the extracted topic.
3. Content Analysis: Extracts key facts, events, and figures, organizing them into a structured knowledge base.
4. Question Generation: Creates quiz questions of varying difficulty levels.
5. Multi-Format Export: Outputs the quiz in Markdown (for readability), HTML (for web integration), and JSON (for programmatic use).

How to Use

1. Deploy the Apify AI agent on the Apify platform.
2. Provide a study request as input.
