Turn your materials into exercises
The AI Exercise Builder – From Materials lets you create multiple Grasple exercises at once based on your own materials, such as PDFs or images.
Upload one or more files, describe what you want to use, and the tool will create a set of exercises, including:
questions
correct answers
step-by-step solutions
feedback for incorrect answers
Looking to create a single exercise from scratch?
Check out the AI Exercise Builder – From Idea.
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

How it works (step by step)
Follow these steps to create a set of exercises from your materials.
1. Upload your files and give instructions
Upload one or more files (PDF or images).
You can upload up to 5 files at once (max. file size: 2048 KB per file).Describe what exercises you want to create in the instruction field. For example:
"Create exercises based on questions 1a, 1c, and 1f"
"Select the first 2 questions from chapter 1 of the PDF 'Sequences'"
"Rewrite question 5 into a Grasple exercise and replace x with t"
Click Generate Exercise Set.
The set will contain up to 6 exercises within one session.The tool will first interpret relevant content from your files and then create exercises based on your instructions.
Good to know: The AI Exercise Builders currently do'nt support sub-questions. Instead, it creates separate, self-contained exercises.Want to add sub-questions?
Save the exercises and add them manually in the Grasple editor.
2. Review, Select and Save your exercises
Once generation is complete, you’ll see a preview of the generated exercises.
Review each exercise carefully
Select the exercises you want to keep
Click Save selected exercises and choose the quiz or repository where you want to store them.
3. Refine and share your exercises
After saving, your exercises will appear in the selected quiz or repository. From there, you can open the question and further refine it using the full Grasple editor.
Once your exercises are ready, you can share them with your students. This is where your exercises start making an impact.

The AI Exercise Builder – From Materials is available via your repository page or your MyGrasple page (note: MyGrasple is not yet available for all users).
