# AI knowledge check-in

The AI knowledge check-in feature in Totara helps workspace owners and facilitators quickly generate informal quizzes from uploaded content. Designed to boost participation and understanding, this feature uses generative AI to create questions based on a source file—supporting quick learning checks, reflection, and knowledge retention.

These check-ins are anonymous, low-pressure, and a great way to keep workspaces engaged while identifying knowledge gaps.
