Most Google Forms quiz tools expect you to paste a Google Doc link. But teachers work with Word documents and PDFs - not Google Docs. Pirai AI is a Google Forms quiz creator that accepts direct Word and PDF uploads, detects answer keys automatically, and creates the quiz directly in your Google Drive. Free daily credits that reset every day. No credit card. No Google Docs intermediate step.
The Problem With Other Free Google Forms Quiz Tools
Truly free: Pirai AI offers free daily credits that reset every day. Google Forms export is included free - no credit card, no paid plan required. Other tools lock Google Forms export behind payment.
Most free quiz creator tools that work with Google Forms require you to paste a Google Doc link. That means if your exam is in Word or PDF, you have to: open Google Docs, import the file, reformat questions, copy the sharing link, then paste it into the tool. That is the hidden preparation work most tools do not mention.
Then there is the pricing reality: several well-known quiz tools only let you create a native form on their platform for free. Exporting that result to Google Forms - an actual Google Form in your Drive - is a paid feature. You sign up for free, create your quiz, and hit a paywall before getting the Google Form.
Pirai AI is different: direct Word and PDF upload, Google Forms export in the free tier, and no Google Docs step.
