ReadQuest

What it does

Read Quest is an innovative Chrome extension designed to enhance productivity and comprehension while reading blogs. The extension utilizes a custom API, developed with Node.js and hosted on Azure, to generate interactive multiple-choice questions (MCQs) based on the blog content.

Here’s how it works: when a user navigates to a blog page, the extension sends some of the content of the current page as a prompt to our API. This API then interacts with the Gemini API to generate relevant MCQs tailored to the content of the blog. The generated questions and answer options are returned in a JSON format.

Once the JSON data is received, the extension renders the questions and options directly in the user interface, allowing users to select their answers. After submitting their choices, the extension evaluates the responses, compares them with the correct answers, and provides immediate feedback by highlighting correct answers in green and incorrect ones in red. The user’s score is then displayed at the bottom of the quiz.

By integrating the Gemini API, Read Quest ensures that the quizzes are contextually accurate and directly related to the blog content. This process helps users assess their comprehension of the material, stay focused, and retain information more effectively, ultimately enhancing their reading experience and productivity.
