# AI-Powered Pre-Populated Prompts for Item Authoring

> Use Pear Assessment's built-in AI prompts to generate, rewrite, and translate assessment items faster

Pear Assessment offers multiple pre-populated AI prompts to streamline item creation. Clicking any of these prompts opens a side panel where you can input content and receive AI-generated results.

## Generate Full Item

The **Generate Full Item** feature helps you create a complete question: including answer options and the correct response: using AI. This tool allows you to author one item at a time.

1. In the item bank, select **New Item**.

2. After selecting the item type, click **Generate Full Item** below the question box to open the side panel.

3. In the side panel, fill in the following fields:

   * **Question Context**: Provide any relevant context for the question.
   * **Standards** (optional): Enter the standards you want the question to align with.
   * **Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level**: Select the appropriate DOK level for the question.
   * **Difficulty Level**: Choose the difficulty level for the question.

   Once you have entered the necessary details, click **Generate**.

4. Review the AI-generated question, answer options, and correct answer. If everything looks good, click **Add Item** to populate the respective fields with the generated content.

<Note>
  If you have already entered text in the question body, it will be pre-populated in the input field when you open the side panel. You can also select **Remember values for next time** to retain your settings for future items.
