Looking for a Kahoot alternative?
Kahoot is the household name for fast quizzes, and it has AI now too — but its AI works from a topic prompt, sits behind paid plans, and many teachers feel it stays "just multiple choice." Tembii builds questions from your actual lesson (paste text, a PDF, or a photo), wraps them in themed adventure games, and gives you 7 question types — including the matching, ordering, and fill-in that language teachers need.
