How is the CompetencyGenie™ Chrome extension different from the version of CompetencyGenie™ available online at https://competencygenie.ai/?
The Chrome extension version of CompetencyGenie™ works inside of the ExamSoft Legacy and Enterprise platforms and generates categorization recommendations for the user to apply to their questions. The web-based version of CompetencyGenie™ allows users to categorize questions one-by-one or by bulk batch-upload. Currently, the web-based version only categorizes Bloom's Taxonomy (Original and Revised).

If your institution/school leverages the EDU Suite in the Enflux platform, we refresh your data daily. If you successfully applied your new tags/categories to a question the day before, you could expect that those items were refreshed by our daily refresh of your data.

Does the Chrome extension work with all question types?
Yes. Our tool categorizes all types of ExamSoft Legacy and Enterprise questions. If you receive a "Not Applicable" indicator in any of the category fields, this means that, based on the question's text, we are unable to determine the correct category. Consider adding additional context to your question or choosing which categories fit that question best. If your question is very short or only contains "Which of the following is true?" then the tool may have difficulty associating it with competencies.
