How I Built an AI-Powered Quiz Generator App With No Code [VIDEO]
You don’t need to be a developer to build an app. Here’s a first look at the AI quiz generator I built from scratch.
I’ve always believed that the best business ideas come from solving a problem you have personally experienced.
That’s exactly how my new app, TypeQuiz, was born.
I needed a way to create beautiful, effective quizzes as a lead generation tool, but I wanted the results to be highly specific and engaging—something more impactful than a generic PDF download that often gets forgotten on a hard drive.
I wanted to deliver custom results directly via email, creating a personalized experience for my audience.
After creating this solution for myself, I realized many others could benefit from it, so I decided to turn it into a full-fledged app.
In this post, I’ll walk you through my journey of building TypeQuiz from scratch using the no-code platform Lovable, and I’ll give you a behind-the-scenes look at how it works.
The Problem with Traditional Quizzes
If you’ve ever tried to build a quiz for your business, you know how challenging it can be. From wrestling with WordPress plugins to coming up with compelling questions, the process can be frustrating. I often found myself stuck, creating generic questions that didn't truly connect with my audience or my business goals.
I knew I wanted to create a quiz that was not only clean and simple but also deeply rooted in my business, my audience, and even neuroscience principles to make the results tangible and meaningful.
This desire for a more sophisticated, yet user-friendly, solution was the driving force behind TypeQuiz.
Building TypeQuiz with Lovable: A No-Code Revolution
The entire TypeQuiz app, from the landing page to the user dashboard, was built using Lovable, a platform I’ve truly fallen in love with. As someone who is not a coder, the ability to build a complete app with a sophisticated backend, including databases managed by Supabase and version control with GitHub, has been a game-changer.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features and how they come together in TypeQuiz:
The Quiz Building Process
The journey starts with the Quiz Builder, which is designed to be intuitive and powerful.
Business Discovery: To start, you provide the AI with information about your business, your target customer, the problem you solve, and your primary offer. The platform offers AI prompt ideas to help you flesh this out if you don't have it ready.
Generate Quiz Strategy: Based on your input, the AI generates a comprehensive quiz strategy.
Choose Your Quiz Style: You can choose from three different types of quizzes:
Archetype Quiz: This is the most in-depth option, perfect for creating detailed user personas. The AI will suggest archetypes, which you can edit, add to, or regenerate.
Score-Based Quiz: This type assigns point values to answers for a quantitative result.
Simple Assessment: A straightforward quiz for basic evaluations.
Define Quiz Logic & Generate Questions: For the archetype quiz, you can define core outcomes (like primary, support, and growth archetypes) and set up custom fields to send personalized data to your email service provider. Then, with a click of a button, the AI generates a title, a subtitle, and a full set of questions and answers, all of which are fully editable.
Customization and Design
Once your quiz content is ready, you can move on to the Template Customizer. The goal here is simplicity and ease of use. You can:
Choose from several pre-built templates.
Customize colors and fonts in real-time to match your brand.
Adjust layout elements and animations.
Upload your own logo.
The app is structured as a simple three-page funnel: the landing page, the quiz itself, and the results page.
Publishing and Analytics
When you're ready to go live, you can publish your quiz. TypeQuiz will host it for you on a dedicated page, or you can use an embed code to add it to your own website. The built-in analytics dashboard will track views, completions, opt-ins, and other key metrics to help you see how your quiz is performing.
A Bespoke Solution for a Common Problem
What I'm most excited about with TypeQuiz is the idea of creating "bespoke solutions". It's about leveraging your unique experience and knowledge to build a tool that perfectly addresses a specific need.
While you can certainly use tools like ChatGPT to generate quiz questions, you still have to put them into a system and understand the scoring logic. TypeQuiz streamlines that entire process.
I've been working on this project part-time for about two and a half months, and it's been an incredibly rewarding journey. It's proof that you don't need to be a developer to build valuable, tangible tools for your audience.
Get Early Access to TypeQuiz
I'm getting very close to launching and will be offering a special deal to the first 100 users who sign up. I need your feedback to help me identify what’s working and what can be improved.
If you’re interested in creating powerful, AI-driven quizzes for your business, I invite you to join the early notification list.
This is just the beginning.
I believe anyone can turn their expertise into an app, and I’m excited to continue sharing my journey of building with no-code tools.
