Trivia AI Assistant

Engage Engine’s AI Assistant, powered by ChatGPT, enables an interactive conversation-based experience for trivia creation. Instead of manually crafting questions, users can engage with the AI by providing simple prompts, and the assistant will generate engaging, theme-based trivia instantly.

AI outputs may be inaccurate – review recommended.

Example:

User Prompt: "Create 5 trivia questions about the history of the World Cup."

AI Output:

  1. In which year was the first FIFA World Cup held?

  2. Which country has won the most World Cup titles?

  3. Who scored the winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final?

  4. What was the host country of the 1998 World Cup?

  5. Which team made its World Cup debut in 2022?

Tips for Crafting Effective Prompts:

  • Write prompts in English for optimal performance. To create non-English trivia, specify the language in the prompt.

  • Focus prompts on specific themes (e.g., Historical Trivia, Match-Ups, Players, Fun Facts).

  • Specify the number of questions you wish to generate.

  • Include difficulty level and answer types in the prompts (e.g., multiple choice, true/false, free text).

  • For free-text answers, review the 'Correct Answers' field in question settings.

AI Assistant Tokens:

  • Token balance can be checked in Settings → Company Profile.

  • If tokens are low or depleted, clients should contact their Customer Success Manager for support.
