AI question generation

When you generate questions, Yuhimo reads the page content and creates review prompts with suggested answers.

The goal is to give you useful anchors for recall. Instead of rereading the whole page passively, you can use questions to check what you remember.

To create first-draft pages from a topic, pasted text, or a file, see Create study material with AI.

AI generation is based on the content of the page.

If the page already has questions, Yuhimo may use them as additional context to avoid repeating the same ideas and to generate more useful follow-up questions.

Each generation can create up to 5 question-and-answer pairs, with a daily cap of 50 per user. See AI question generation limits for details.

AI does not automatically decide which parts of your entire knowledge base matter. It works from the page you are generating from.

You do not need questions to review a page.

A learning page can be reviewed by reading the title, recalling the material, and checking the original content yourself.

Questions simply make the review flow more guided.

Generated questions are not final.

You can edit them, delete them, or replace them with your own questions. See Questions for how they fit into a page.

This is important because AI can miss context, focus on the wrong detail, or phrase an answer in a way that does not match what you actually want to remember.

AI does not grade your recall in Yuhimo.

During review, you still decide how well you remembered the material. Your rating — Again, Hard, Good, or Easy — is what updates the learning schedule through self-assessment.

AI-generated questions can help you check yourself, but they do not replace self-assessment. See also What AI does not do.

For technical pages, generated questions may focus on concepts, code behavior, APIs, edge cases, or limitations.

For example, a technical note about React hooks may generate questions about when a hook runs, what dependencies mean, or what common mistakes to avoid.

You should still review the generated questions and adjust them if they miss the point. AI does not guarantee perfect understanding of code or every edge case in your note.

AI generation is most useful when you already have useful content but do not want to manually create every question from scratch.

It gives you a starting point. You can then keep the good questions and improve the weak ones.

• A page is long and you want quick review prompts
• You want to turn passive notes into active recall
• You want a starting point for questions
• You want to cover the main ideas of a page faster
• You are building a learning page from an article or technical note

Manual questions are better when you know exactly what matters.

If a page contains personal context, project-specific decisions, or subtle technical details, writing your own question may be more accurate than relying on generated output.

• Precise facts you care about
• Personal notes
• Project-specific details
• Nuanced technical decisions
• Things AI may not infer correctly

Good questions should be specific, answerable, focused on one idea, useful during review, and written in your own wording when possible.

• Avoid vague questions
• Avoid questions that ask too much at once
• Avoid questions about details you do not actually need to remember
• Do not blindly keep every generated question

You create a page called "React useEffect cleanup".

The page explains when cleanup runs, why cleanup prevents stale subscriptions, what happens before the next effect, and what happens on unmount.

You generate questions. Yuhimo might create prompts like:

• When does a useEffect cleanup function run?
• Why is cleanup important for subscriptions?
• What happens before React runs the next effect?

You review the questions, edit one of them, delete another, and keep the ones that match what you want to remember.

AI question generation is not a correctness engine.

It helps create review prompts, but you remain responsible for deciding which questions are useful and how well you remembered the page.

• Guarantee perfect questions
• Know exactly what you personally care about
• Automatically verify your knowledge
• Replace editing
• Replace honest self-assessment
• Turn Yuhimo into an exam system

For more on AI’s role, see Why AI is a helper.

AI question generation helps turn notes into review prompts faster.

It is useful for creating a starting set of questions, especially for longer pages. But AI remains a helper: questions are optional, editable, and separate from the self-assessment that drives Yuhimo’s review schedule.

Do I need AI-generated questions to use Yuhimo?

No. Questions are optional. You can review learning pages without generated questions.

Can I edit AI-generated questions?

Yes. You can edit, delete, or replace generated questions.

Does AI grade my answers?

No. Yuhimo uses self-assessment. You choose Again, Hard, Good, or Easy after reviewing the page.

What does AI use to generate questions?

AI uses the page content as the main source. Existing questions may also help provide context if supported.

Are AI-generated questions always correct?

No. You should review them. AI can focus on the wrong detail or miss context.

Can I write questions manually instead?

Yes. Manual questions are often better when you know exactly what you want to remember.
