What makes Mashq-ai different from other AI tools?

Using Mashq-ai
Do I need to create an account?
Currently, no account is required! You can use all features immediately without signing up. This means your privacy is protected—we don't store your personal information or track your activity beyond basic analytics.
How do I generate content?
It's simple! Just:
- Select the tool you want (Topics, Books, MCQs, etc.)
- Enter your subject or topic
- Choose any options like difficulty level or quantity
- Click generate and wait a few seconds
- Review, edit if needed, and export as PDF
Can I edit the generated content?
Absolutely! We encourage reviewing and customizing AI-generated content. You can copy the text, make edits, and create your own versions. For PDF exports, edit the content before downloading.
How long does content generation take?
Most content generates in 3-10 seconds. Complex requests like full book outlines or large sets of MCQs may take 15-30 seconds. Your internet speed can also affect loading times.
Can I upload my own files?
Yes! Our MCQ and Flashcard generators support file uploads (PDF, Word documents) as well as website links and images. Upload your course materials, and we'll create practice questions based on that content.
Do you offer Islamic Q&A and language support?
Yes. The Islamic Q&A tool generates respectful, educational questions and answers with language selection for learning and reflection.
Can Mashq-ai solve math step-by-step?
Yes. The Math Solver provides clear, step-by-step explanations for algebra, geometry, calculus, and word problems.
What creative tools are available?
You can generate stories, emails, slides, quotes, social posts, jokes, poetry, and driving test practice questions—each in a focused tool with export and copy options.
Content Quality & Accuracy
How accurate is AI-generated content?
Our AI uses advanced language models trained on vast educational datasets, providing generally accurate information. However, AI can occasionally make errors or generate outdated information. We strongly recommend verifying important facts independently, especially for academic or professional use.
Should I trust AI-generated content for exams?
Use AI-generated content as a starting point or study aid, not as your sole resource. Cross-reference with textbooks, instructor notes, and authoritative sources. Think of Mashq-ai as a smart study partner—helpful but not infallible.
Can teachers use this content in their classrooms?
Yes! Many educators use Mashq-ai to create draft materials that they review and refine. We recommend teachers:
- Review all AI-generated content for accuracy
- Customize materials to match their curriculum
- Add their own examples and context
- Disclose to students when materials are AI-assisted
What if I find an error in generated content?
Please report it! Contact us with details. We continuously work to improve our AI models based on user feedback.
Privacy & Data Security
What data do you collect?
We collect minimal data to operate our service: IP addresses for security, basic usage analytics (which tools are used, when), and any content you choose to upload. We do NOT store personal information like names, emails, or payment details for free users.
Is my uploaded content stored?
No. Files you upload (PDFs, documents, images) are processed in memory and immediately deleted after generating your requested content. We do not retain copies of your files.
Can others see my generated content?
No. Your generated content is private to your session. We don't share it with other users or store it permanently. Once you close your browser, it's gone.
Is Mashq-ai GDPR and FERPA compliant?
Yes. We follow international data protection standards. Since we don't collect personal information from students without accounts, FERPA concerns are minimal. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Technical Questions

Mashq-ai works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers. For best experience, use the latest version of your preferred browser.
Can I use Mashq-ai on my phone?
Yes! Our platform is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. However, for complex content like book generation or extensive MCQ sets, a larger screen provides a better experience.
