Whale AI-Generated Quizzes

Yes. Every quiz has a passing score you control, defaulting to 80 percent. Inside a training flow, you can require a pass before the team member moves to the next step, which makes the quiz a real gate rather than a suggestion. If someone fails, they can retake the quiz as many times as needed, and every attempt is logged. For compliance-heavy processes, many Whale customers set the threshold to 100 percent so a team member has to answer every question correctly before the system marks the SOP complete. For general operational training, 70 to 80 percent is the common setting. You decide per quiz, and you can change it later without losing historical data.

AI-generated quizzes are available on the Essentials, Scale, and Enterprise plans. The Team plan does not include quizzes, so if quizzing is part of how you train your team, Essentials is the entry point. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, is included on the plans that have quizzes, so there is no separate AI add-on to purchase. You can try the full quiz experience on a free trial of a paid plan before committing, and the quizzes you build during the trial carry over if you subscribe. Check the pricing page for current plan limits and per-user costs, and talk to sales if you need a volume plan for a larger team.

Alice pulls questions from the exact content of the SOP, so the accuracy depends on how clear the source document is. For a well-written SOP with concrete steps and named policies, the draft questions are usable with light edits. For a vague or thin SOP, the questions will be generic, which is a useful signal that the SOP itself needs more detail before it is worth quizzing on. Every question lands in an editor before it is published, so you can rewrite, swap answers, or delete anything that misses. Most Whale customers treat the AI draft as a starting point that saves an hour of blank-page work, not as a final deliverable.

Yes. Team members can retake a quiz until they pass, and every attempt is logged. Whale tracks the score on each attempt, the date and time, which questions were answered correctly, and how long the attempt took. Managers see this inside the training analytics dashboard, filtered by person, team, or SOP. If a question is failing across many team members, that is usually a sign the SOP needs rewriting, not a sign the team is not paying attention. Retakes are not rate-limited by default, so a team member can work through the SOP again and retry the quiz the same day if they want to close a gap quickly.

By default, yes. Whale quizzes are open-book, which means team members can reference the SOP while taking the quiz. This is intentional. The goal of a quiz inside a training flow is reinforcement, not a gotcha. A team member reading the SOP a second time to answer a question is learning the process, which is exactly what you want. For compliance use cases where you need proof that someone internalized the content without reference, you can set the passing score to 100 percent and use the quiz as a final acknowledgment step after the team member has already worked through the SOP. Most Whale customers keep quizzes open-book for operational training and reserve closed-book style grading for specific compliance scenarios.

Both platforms support quizzes inside training flows with passing scores and retakes. The difference is the starting point. Trainual quizzes are written by hand, question by question. Whale quizzes start with Alice generating a draft from the SOP in seconds, which you then edit. That changes the economics of quizzing. Teams that would not write quizzes for most SOPs in Trainual because it is too much work end up quizzing on far more processes in Whale. The other difference is pricing structure. Whale’s Essentials, Scale, and Enterprise plans include AI-generated quizzes without a separate AI add-on, while Trainual starts at 249 dollars per month flat. For teams under 20 people, that price gap is the deciding factor more often than the quiz feature itself.
