# AI question and parent report settings

> Every option when creating questions or a whole activity with AI, and when writing a parent progress report: topic, files, types, number, language and period.

There are two AI dialogs. **Create an activity with AI** opens from **Create with AI** on **My activities** or **Home** and makes a new activity. **Create questions with AI** opens from **Create with AI** in the activity editor and adds questions to the end of that activity. Parent reports are on each student’s page, in the **Progress report for parents** card.

For a walkthrough, see [Create questions with AI](https://learnworkly.com/help/activities/ai-question-generator) and [Send progress reports to parents](https://learnworkly.com/help/progress/parent-reports).

## Your material (both dialogs)

| Setting | What it does | Default | Plans/limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| File drop area | Drop files or click to choose them. Each file uploads when you add it. Click × next to a file to remove it. | No files | PDF, Word (.docx), text or photos. Up to 20 files, 25 MB each. |

## What the AI sees

> **What the AI sees:** The AI only sees your description and your files. Your files are deleted right after the AI has read them. Student data is never sent to the AI. Check every question and answer before assigning: AI can make mistakes.

At the bottom of both dialogs you see how many AI generations you have left this month. When none are left, the create button is turned off and **See plans** appears. Runs that fail are not counted.

## Progress report for parents

| **Report language** | The language the report is written in, for example the parent’s language. | Your app language | 18 languages |

> **Tip:** The AI never receives the student’s name or email: the draft refers to “your child”. Read it and add personal touches before you click **Email to parent**.

## Frequently asked questions

**Why is Email to parent turned off?**
The student has no parent email yet. Add one on the student’s page, with the parent’s permission. You can still click **Copy text** and send it yourself.

**Can I generate more than 30 questions in the editor?**
Not in one go. Click **Create with AI** again, or use **Create an activity with AI**, which goes up to 50 questions. Each run uses one AI generation.

**What happens if I clear all question types?**
You cannot: at least one type always stays on. **Clear** goes back to **Multiple choice** only.
