Show HN: A simple LLM-based test generator

2 points by _0egf 1 year ago | 2 comments

Hello everyone! I recently developed a simple LLM-based test generator. It can generate tests about any topic. If you are interested, you can check a few examples that were generated by it here: [link redacted]

It can make mistakes time to time but overall it's still usable. To try it out, just visit the website: [link redacted]. You will need an API key from an LLM provider however.

You may wonder why not just use the LLM directly. That could work fine too actually but this tool puts it neatly on a webpage with formatting like LaTeX, answer choices if requested, etc. You can convert the page into PDF too (by printing to PDF).

Hello fellow Edtech programmer,

TLDR: > 0.0% hallucination = mistrust from people

We're in the same boat, I can give a quick relay of the feedback i was getting.

Generally about test/education generation with model is that they're unreliable because of hallucinations. people hate that very much as you may be aware, in my case I was asking for payment on top so it made the feedback even harsher.

One way I see that you can strike gold and maybe even successfully monetise this is if you allow the user to provide urls that you scrape, then adjust your prompts for a successful (Retrieval augmented generation) RAG. This way people will trust the tool and may consider paying if the features solve a headache for them (this is the direction im considering for my APP).
