The Challenge: Traditional assessments often fail to identify specific misconceptions until after a final exam, leading to student disengagement and high remedial costs.​

The Challenge: Organizations lose up to 70% of training value within 24 hours because "one-size-fits-all" modules fail to reinforce individual knowledge gaps.

Primary Users: K-12 Teachers, University Faculty, and Students.

Primary Users: L&D Managers, Compliance Officers, and Employees.

Benefits:

• 90% Time Savings: Reduces the 10–15 hours faculty typically spend weekly on test creation to just minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Show me examples of self-assessments generated by the program?
While you can easily generate assessment on your own text or course content, here are 3 examples which will give a good idea about the structure of assessment:  

1. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson
2. Are you living in a computer simulation - A 2003 paper by Nick Bostrom
3. Machines of loving grace - A paper by Dario Amodei, dated Oct'24

Sometimes I see too many questions in assessment. Do I need to answer all?
The intent of our users is to ensure that they understand the subject. Once they reach a specific mastery level of 65% marks, they are given a choice to continue.  You do not need to answer all questions. 

​Is the same quiz given to every student taking an assessment? 
While the generated item bank for an assessment remains same, the underlying order and difficulty level of asked questions will be different for every student.  ​​

How long does it take to generate an assessment?​
Due to heavy text processing involved, it may take 4-6 minutes on an average. Our choice of using advance reasoning LLMs adds to this time. For files with large text size, it could add a few more minutes. Once the assessment is created, thousands of students can access it simultaneously.   ​​​​

Do you have an API to integrate HotKettle with other platforms?  
We designed HotKettle with API-ready architecture and do have plans to release an API in near-future. Based on user's requests, we do intend to develop plugins for: 

• Learning Management Systems (Canvas, Moodle)
• MOOC Platforms (Coursera, edX, Udemy)
• Corporate Training Platforms (Docebo, Skillsoft)​

How can I generate assessment from a section of a book or chapter, instead of entire document?
You can select the page numbers of the document and only that part will be used to generate assessment.​​​

I am an instructor / teacher. How do I start to use the program?
First, you will need to do a quick registration with your email address. You will be able to generate assessments by uploading a PDF or a text file of your content. The application will provide you with a link that you can share with your students to self-assess their knowledge.  ​​​​

 I am a student and have been given a link by my teacher. What do I do with it? 
Well, just click the link and start your self-assessment. You will be asked to login through one of of your social media application's credentials. It is only to access the assessment.​  ​​

 Do you store that file that I upload? 
Never. Your content file is immediately deleted from the system once we have generated the assessment from it. If you need to revise the assessment, you will need to upload the file again. ​​​

I want to open HotKettle to teachers in our college. How can I do that?  
We have licensing program for a group (20 teachers) and site license (based on a domain name). For more information, please contact us. ​​

My PDF document has images, scanned and non-selectable text. Will it work? 
Yes. Our parser intelligently directs such documents to a specialized text extraction software. There is nothing to be done on your side.​​​

I need all my teachers in my college to use it. Do they need to sign individually?   
We have site license program for institutions and corporates. Please contact us if this interests you. ​​

Teach with confidence. Measure with precision.
