Create an exercise within seconds
The AI Exercise Builder – From Idea lets you create ready-to-use Grasple exercises using AI. Simply describe the question you want, or upload a screenshot of an existing one, and the tool will create a complete exercise, including:
questions
correct answers
step-by-step solutions
feedback for incorrect answers
Looking to create multiple exercises from your existing materials?
Check out the AI Exercise Builder – From Materials.
Disclaimer: The tool uses a large language model (LLM) to generate exercises. As with any AI-generated content, the output may not always be mathematically or didactically perfect, but that's where you come in. As the teacher in the loop, you can review, iterate, and adjust until the exercise is exactly right for your students.
Where to access the tool
Find the AI Exercise Builders in your repositories or on your MyGrasple page (note: MyGrasple is not yet available to all users).

How it works (step by step)
Follow these steps to create a new exercise.
1. Start generating your exercise
How to create an exercise:
Select a question type — Math or Multiple Choice
Type your instructions (prompt) in the input field. For example
"Create a differentiation exercise using the power rule"
"Make a multiple choice question on the difference between Type I and Type II errors" (don’t forget to select Multiple Choice as question type)
"Use this exercise but change the variables" (upload an image)
"Turn this into an exam-style question"
(Optional) Add an image of an existing exercise to base your question on. The tool will recreate it and allow you to modify it (e.g. change numbers, adjust difficulty, or improve wording)
Press the blue Send Message button to generate your exercise
The tool automatically matches the language of your prompt: write in English and the exercise will be in English, write in Dutch and it responds in Dutch.

2. Refine your exercise
Not quite right? Refine your exercise by adding a follow-up instruction and clicking Send message again. The tool uses your previous instructions, so it understands what you want to improve.
For example:
"Make this exercise more challenging"
"Use different numbers but keep the same structure"
"Add a more detailed step-by-step solution"
"Make this suitable for first-year students"
To start fresh with a new exercise, click Start new conversation in the top right. This is important, because the tool remembers your earlier instructions. If you stay in the same conversation, earlier instructions (such as difficulty level or structure) may unintentionally carry over to your new exercise.
3. Save your exercise
Happy with the result? Click Save (to use/edit question). You'll be asked to:
select a Quiz or Repository to save it in
optionally give the exercise a name
Once saved, you can further edit the exercise manually using all Grasple functionalities and share it with your students.
Access and limits
The AI Exercise Builders are available via your repository page or your MyGrasple page (note: MyGrasple is not yet available for all users).
You can create exercises using up to 8 AI sessions with the AI Exercise Builders to try it out. Want to create more? Click Request unlimited access and let us know how you plan to use the tool.
Unlimited access is free, we simply want to understand your use case so we can support you in the best possible way.
We’ll get back to you as soon as possible so you can continue creating exercises.
What the prototype currently supports
Below you’ll find what you can currently do with the Single Exercise Builder, and what’s still in development.
| Supported | Not supported |
Question types | Math, Multiple Choice | Numeric, One Word Answer, Unit |
Math answer checking | Algebraically Equivalent, Same Exact Form, Same Ordered Collection, Parallel to, Greater/Less Than (or equal) | Same Basis, Same Orthogonal/Orthonormal Basis, Same Solution to System of Equations, Diagonal Matrix, Numerical, and several others |
Question forms | Single question, single answer field | Sub-questions, multiple answer fields, conditional logic |
Uploads | Image (PNG, JPEG) | PDF uploads (use the Bulk Exercise Generator) |
Parametrisation | — | Not yet supported — You can generate multiple versions of the same question with different variables, save them separately, and assign them to students for variation. |
Help us improve the AI Exercise Builder
This tool is evolving quickly, and your feedback directly shapes what we build next. Use the "Provide feedback to Grasple" button inside the tool to share your thoughts.
We're especially interested in:
🔴 Missing functionality — Can't generate the type of exercise you need? This is our highest priority. Tell us what you were trying to make and what got in the way. The more specific, the better.
🧮 Mathematical boundaries — Push the tool to its limits. Try complex topics, edge cases, unusual question types. Where does it hold up, and where does it break down?
🎓 Didactic quality — Does the generated exercise actually work for your students? Is the difficulty appropriate, the wording clear, the feedback useful? You're the expert here — we're not.
We're excited to build this together with the community 🚀
