AI tool that turns lectures into interactive polls and quizzes

Every professor understands that polling boosts classroom attention. But crafting quality questions on the fly during a live lecture? That's a non-starter. You're already managing your slides, keeping an eye on the time, and trying to recall whether you covered marginal utility five minutes ago. PollGenius monitors your lecture in real-time and automatically produces polls, quizzes, and discussion starters as you teach. Simply upload your deck or begin speaking. It generates multiple-choice items, open-ended questions, and comprehension checks tailored precisely to what you just covered. Zero preparation. Zero manual authoring. Pure, seamless interaction that never disrupts your rhythm. The frustration here is enormous: 90% of professors desire greater engagement, yet they're stuck either dedicating hours to handcrafting poll questions or abandoning them altogether because the mental overhead is just too high. Platforms like Poll Everywhere demand that everything be built ahead of time. Mentimeter feels like yet another LMS to master. PollGenius simply does its job. It listens, creates, and holds student attention — all without adding a single ounce of cognitive burden to your already overloaded brain. Pricing starts at $29/month for individual educators and scales to $5K–$50K annually through institutional licensing. The entry point is exhausted professors who genuinely care about pedagogy but have zero bandwidth for additional prep work. Growth happens organically through education Facebook groups, YouTube walkthroughs featuring real classroom before-and-afters, and native integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. When one faculty member in a department adopts it and their course evaluations jump, colleagues line up to get access. The roadmap to $5M ARR runs from freemium adoption to institutional contracts. Individual instructors sign up because it simplifies their lives. Then departments review the engagement metrics and purchase site-wide licenses. This isn't merely a polling product. It's the power to transform every lecture from a one-way broadcast into a dynamic dialogue — with absolutely no added effort. That proposition justifies the price. That proposition scales across every university struggling with students mentally checking out midway through class.
