Suggesting random options for quiz questions

Slido can help create Quizzes faster by suggesting (im)plausible options Suggestions for your Quiz questionApr 1st 2021For your next Quiz, Slido can help you find potential options for your questions. The suggestions are just one click away and you can finish the preparation of the Quiz much quicker. Creating a good Quiz is a time-consuming job. Even when you come up with a good question and the correct answer, searching for the incorrect options can be very demanding. With the help of a Text Generation model, we are able to suggest options for your Quiz questions. While they can be generated using just the Quiz question, they will immediately improve once you provide the correct or incorrect answer(s). The model has been trained on public Slido Quizzes. “Our goal is to save your precious time while creating the Quiz and possibly also increase the fun element of it.” (Peter, Product Manager) All you have to do is to type in your Quiz question.

We started Slido with the vision to transform how meetings and events are run around the world.In the eight years since we began, the world has changed, no more so than in 2020. With millions of workers shifting to remote work, having the right technology in place to power their work and meetings is absolutely critical.In today’s work environment, it has never been more important to connect and collaborate, no matter how, where or when we work together. We believe that the way we work has changed forever. In the years to come, much of our work will happen on video calls and virtual meetings.We realized that if we want to impact millions of lives for better and truly transform how meetings and events are run around the World, we will need a strong partner.

Sunsetting Slido's Slack integration: Here's why and what's next

We're announcing today that we'll be turning off our Slack integration on November 30th. Two years ago, we launched our Slack app to make it easier for our users to collect questions without the need to leave Slack.I know that for some of you, the news may come as a surprise. Let me share how we came to this decision and what might come next. 🌇 Why we’re sunsetting our Slack integrationWith this integration, we wanted to bring Slido closer to where you work. Despite our best efforts, it missed the mark in a few ways:The feature enables users only to collect questions or ideas. If they want team members to upvote them, they have to leave Slack and do it in a browser. With the current integration, users can't create and share polls in Slack.To address these limitations and bring Slido to Slack in a way it deserves, we need to rethink our approach and build it from the ground up. 👀 What's nextFirst, I want to thank you for having been on this journey with us and for sharing all the comm
