Kahoot! launches new AI-powered study tools for Back-to-School

Kahoot!, the essential study solution, is launching new free AI-powered features to help students study smarter solo this school year.

OSLO, Norway, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kahoot!, the global learning and engagement platform, today announced a suite of new AI features and tools to help students succeed in the new academic year. The ultimate AI study toolkit empowers students to save time, overcome exam anxiety, stay motivated, and ace their exams with free offline study experiences.

Learn and review anywhere with efficient and engaging self study tools

With the new school year now underway, students are looking for effective study methods that fit their busy schedules, keep them engaged, and are always accessible. Now, students can study smarter with a new series of AI-enhanced features, including:

• Create new study experiences from your materials with AI. Kahoot!'s award-winningAI Generator now offers students a more personalized learning experience with new ways to create learning content and study. Kahoot!'s AI tools enable students to instantly transform handwritten notes, documents, web pages, Wikipedia articles, or simply an entered topic into interactive, gamified learning sessions. Students can now generate formats, including quizzes with multiple choice questions, practice tests with advanced question types, vocabulary reviews, and micro lessons. In addition, the "Question extractor" tool scans exams or tests and turns them into engaging Kahoot! quiz questions. "Step-by-step solver" breaks down complex problems into clear explanations and prompts students to solve along the way, ensuring they understand each step toward the answer.
  
  
• Study with Kahoot! offline. Students studying on-the-go without a reliable internet connection can now create interactive Kahoot! Experiences and study offline for free. Additionally, with iOS 26, Apple device users can generate Kahoot! sessions for free with Quiz Starter, using on-device AI powered by Apple's Foundation Models, allowing for offline use and greater privacy. With Quiz Starter, students can generate Kahoot! quizzes in seconds by scanning class notes or other materials. Students can also play these Kahoot! sessions offline, individually, making it easier for students to study effectively anytime, anywhere.
  
  
• Ace exams with Test Mode. More than 40% of college students have reported skipping a test, most often due to a lack of preparation or test anxiety. This underscores how vital effective test prep is to student success. According to independent research, studying with Kahoot! can, on average, improve students' performance on exams by a full letter grade. Now, Kahoot! is helping students further strengthen their knowledge and build confidence before exams with the release of Test Mode, a powerful feature for students to simulate the exam experience and measure their test readiness.
  
  As a student completes a Kahoot! practice test or quiz in Test Mode, answers are not revealed until the end, where a post-game summary shows their results. These include the student's score and percentage of correct answers, completion time, and the ability to review any incorrect answers and continue to study these topics. By assessing their progress and pinpointing knowledge gaps, students can target specific areas for review for more efficient and effective studying. This premium feature is now available with a Kahoot!+ Gold subscription.
  
  
• Maximize motivation with achievements. Students can discover study experiences on Kahoot! that help them stay engaged and make progress toward their study goals. Available on the Kahoot! app, study buddies motivate students as they study and learn, cheering them on when they succeed and encouraging them to keep trying when they encounter difficult questions. Students can access the free-to-try study buddy, and a paid subscription unlocks access to all Kahoot! study buddies, including fun motivational characters.
  
  To help students develop strong study habits, Kahoot! also provides daily and weekly streak achievements. These feature unique icons, animations, and milestone levels for students to track their progress, as well as motivational messages to encourage students to continue learning.
  
  
• Socialize studying and focus on understanding with Study Groups and Accuracy Mode. Studying with others can be a great way to stay motivated and deepen learning through collaboration. With Kahoot!, students can create study groups with friends within the Kahoot! app or web platform, play Kahoot! sessions together, and master topics along the way. Review course content, practice key skills, and compete to reach the top of the leaderboard.
  
  For even more inclusive, relaxed, and learning-focused study sessions, students can play Kahoot! sessions in Accuracy Mode, where correct answers matter more than speed. In Accuracy Mode, all participants are given the same amount of time to answer a question, and earn the same points for answering correctly, with no bonus for a quicker response. This encourages students to slow down, think critically, and strengthen their understanding of the topic.

"At Kahoot!, we want all students to have the tools to start their new classes with confidence and achieve academic success," said Alex Remen, VP of Product at Kahoot!. "With our new lineup of AI-powered study features, we're combining the exciting capabilities of generative AI with the engaging experience of Kahoot! that millions of students worldwide love. These new features offer students a more flexible, personalized, and impactful self study experience, supporting students throughout the learning process from mastering new concepts to acing their tests."
