FAQ

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about Quanta.

Q: What exactly is Quanta?

Quanta is a browser extension that helps you answer quiz questions on platforms like Moodle. It uses AI to analyze the questions and automatically select the correct answers.

Q: Do I need an API key to use Quanta?

Yes, you need to provide your own API key for one of the supported AI providers (Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, or OpenRouter). This is because Quanta sends the quiz questions to these services to get the answers, and they require an API key for authentication.

Q: Is my API key safe?

Yes, your API key is stored securely in your browser's local storage. It is only used to communicate with the AI provider you select and is not shared with anyone else.

Q: What AI models can I use?

Quanta supports models from Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and OpenRouter. The extension dynamically fetches the latest available models from OpenAI and OpenRouter, so you'll always have access to the most current options.

Q: Does Quanta work on all websites?

Quanta is specifically designed to work with Moodle quizzes. While it may work on other platforms with a similar structure, it is not guaranteed.

Q: What happens if the AI gets the answer wrong?

While the AI models Quanta uses are very powerful, they are not perfect and may occasionally provide incorrect answers. Always double-check the answers before submitting your quiz.

Q: How does Quanta handle questions that load dynamically?

Quanta uses a MutationObserver to watch for changes on the page. This allows it to detect and inject the "Get Answer with Quanta" button even on quizzes that load questions dynamically after the initial page load.

Q: What should I do if the extension isn't working?

First, make sure you have correctly set your API key in the extension's popup. If you're still having issues, you can check the browser's developer console for any error messages. If you continue to experience problems, please open an issue on the project's GitHub page.
