Drafting a quiz with AI
Point it at a page or a PDF, and review every question before anything is created.
Owners and MakersNew quiz offers three routes: draft with AI, start from a template, or open a blank builder. All three land in the same builder, and nothing about the choice is permanent.
What it reads
- Up to five sources per draft — a pricing page, a product page, a capability deck.
- Public web pages, fetched once. A page behind a login cannot be read; paste the text instead.
- PDFs up to 20 MB, as long as they contain real text. A scanned document is a picture and cannot be read.
- Pasted text, when there is no good page to point at. A few sentences is usually enough.
What you tell it
Four things it cannot get off your website: who is answering, what a good lead looks like to you, how many questions you want, and the tone. The definition of a good lead is what the points are set against, so it is the answer worth thinking about.
Reviewing the draft
You get the questions with their answers and points, and each one cites the source line it came from. Keep, edit in place, or drop each. The right-hand column shows what share of the score each question would carry and the bands it suggests, both recalculated as you drop questions.
Nothing exists until you press “Open in builder”. That creates an ordinary draft quiz containing exactly what is on screen — no slot is taken until you publish it.
What it costs, and who pays
Every plan includes a monthly allowance of generations on Sondr's own key, Free included. It is a hard stop, never an overage — nothing AI does can add to your invoice.
| PLAN | INCLUDED GENERATIONS | CEILING WITH YOUR OWN KEY |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3 / month | 50 / month |
| Starter | 10 / month | 200 / month |
| Growth | 40 / month | 800 / month |
| Scale | 150 / month | 3,000 / month |
Connect your own OpenAI key under Settings → AI and the requests are billed to your OpenAI account at your rates, with a much higher ceiling. You can set your own guard rail below that ceiling; whichever limit is reached first stops generation, and makers are told the monthly AI limit has been reached rather than meeting a surprise charge.
Your OpenAI key
The key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it reaches the database, under a secret held in the deployment's environment. It is decrypted in memory only, for the moment a request goes to OpenAI, is never returned to the browser, and is never shown again beyond its last four characters. Removing it deletes it from the row and falls back to Sondr's credits.
Turning it off
Settings → AI has one workspace-wide switch. Off means every AI entry point disappears for everyone — the new-quiz picker shows two routes instead of three, with no mention of a locked feature — and no request leaves the workspace for a model. Quizzes already built with AI keep working. The change is owner-only and written to the audit log.
What leaves the workspace
Only the sources you add and the quiz text you write. Lead names, emails and answers are never sent to the model. Requests go to OpenAI from Sondr's servers; Sondr has no zero-retention or regional-routing agreement with OpenAI, so if you need one, connect your own key on an account that has it.
What it will not do
- Publish anything, or touch a quiz that is already live.
- Invent claims that are not in the material you gave it.
- Keep your sources. They are deleted when the draft becomes a quiz, and abandoned drafts are cleared within a day.
A second opinion on scoring
On the Scoring stage of the builder, “Suggest scoring” reads the quiz you have written and proposes a weight for each question, with a one-line reason, plus a set of bands. Your questions and answer wording are never touched, and nothing is applied until you press Use these weights or Use these bands.
