Kahoot!
Game-based quizzes adding AI question generation
We publish a full Four-Mismatches fit assessment for the student-facing exam tools first. For this one, the facts below are what we have verified — run the Four Mismatches Test on it yourself for your own students.
Independence: Addestra builds learning products too (MathsTutor, TinkerWell). We never review or score our own, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.
What it does
What the AI actually does — AI generates question sets from a prompt or uploaded document, and converts PDFs/slides into playable 'kahoots'.
Why it was built — Turn learning into a fun, competitive, game-show-style group experience.
