Trivia Article Generator

What It Does

The Trivia Post Builder creates a ready-to-publish HTML trivia post complete with a short introduction, a set number of questions, and a clean answer key at the end.

It uses your source material or topic as the factual base, generating either multiple-choice or true/false questions in your chosen difficulty level. You can optionally include a featured image prompt and caption to visually set the scene.

This Agent is ideal for boosting reader engagement while maintaining factual accuracy and brand tone.
