[LikeQuiz] How MAIKA Support the Creative Engine
From Consumer to Creator: How MAIKA Built the Creative Engine Behind LikeQuiz
Here is the comprehensive story of the collaboration between MAIKA and LikeQuiz, detailing how a vision for effortless content creation was transformed into a powerful AI reality.

In the digital age, the urge to know oneself is insatiable. Whether it’s finding out "Which K-Pop Star is Your Soulmate?" or answering the burning question, "What Kind of Cheese Are You?", online quizzes have become the modern playground for curiosity.

LikeQuiz established itself as a vibrant ecosystem for this exact purpose. It wasn't just a website; it was a digital mirror where millions came to unlock hidden aspects of their personalities or test their knowledge on everything from Anime to Science.

However, the LikeQuiz team identified a significant bottleneck in their business model. While millions of users loved taking quizzes, only a small fraction had the time, patience, or writing skills to create them. The "Blank Page Syndrome" was real. A user might have a brilliant idea for a quiz, but getting stuck on writing witty results, engaging questions, and logical flow meant the idea often died before it was published.

LikeQuiz had a bold vision: To democratize the role of the "Quiz Master." They wanted to make quiz creation as addictive and easy as quiz consumption.

To achieve this, they needed an engine capable of creativity, logic, and humor. They needed MAIKA.


The Challenge: The "Seed" Problem

When LikeQuiz approached the MAIKA team, the objective was clear but technically demanding. They wanted a system where a user could provide "minimal seed info" a core idea or a few keywords and the system would generate a fully fleshed-out, interactive experience.

This wasn't just about retrieving facts. The AI had to distinguish between:

  1. Trivia: Requiring factual accuracy (e.g., History, Science).
  2. Personality Assessments: Requiring abstract logic and creative writing (e.g., "If you pick this color, what does it say about your love life?").

MAIKA was tasked with building an AI-Powered Quiz Editor that served as a co-pilot, not just a generator.

Phase 1: The Architecture of Imagination

The MAIKA team began by deconstructing the anatomy of a viral quiz. They engineered the AI model to understand the distinct components that LikeQuiz users valued: the Hook (Title), the Engagement (Questions), and the Payoff (Results).

MAIKA developed a Context-Aware Generation Engine. Unlike generic text generators, this engine was fine-tuned to understand the "vibe" of LikeQuiz categories.

  • If a user selected "K-Pop," the AI knew to use energetic, fan-centric language.
  • If a user selected "Science," the AI shifted to a factual, inquisitive tone.

Phase 2: Building the "Seed-to-Quiz" Pipeline

The core breakthrough was the Seed-to-Quiz capability. MAIKA engineers built a pipeline that takes a user's vague input and expands it into a structured narrative.

1. Automated Question Generation:
The MAIKA team trained the model to perform "Topic Expansion." If a user types "Harry Potter House Sorting," the AI doesn't just ask "What is your house?" It generates creative proxy questions like, "Which pet would you bring to school?" or "What is your favorite subject?", mapping the answers to the correct results.

2. The "Result" Writer:
The most difficult part of a personality quiz is writing the results the paragraphs that tell the user who they are. MAIKA implemented a creative writing module that generates distinct, shareable, and flattering personality descriptions based on the quiz logic, ensuring the "Self-Discovery" value of LikeQuiz was met.

Phase 3: The Refinement Suite (Modify, Expand, Optimize)

LikeQuiz didn't just want a "Generate" button; they wanted an "Edit" suite. MAIKA built granular AI tools into the platform’s backend:

  • Smart Modification: MAIKA integrated a rewriting tool. If a user felt a question was too boring, they could hit "Refresh," and the AI would suggest three punchier variations of the title or description.
  • Seamless Expansion: The MAIKA team solved the "Writer's Block" issue by adding an "Expand" feature. If a user wrote 5 questions but needed 10, the AI analyzed the first 5 and generated 5 more that matched the exact difficulty and tone of the originals.
  • Flow Optimization: MAIKA built a logic checker that analyzes the quiz structure. It ensures the quiz isn't too short to be unsatisfying or too long to be boring, providing recommendations to maximize user engagement.

The Result: Unleashing the Inner Quiz Master

With the integration of the MAIKA-built engine, LikeQuiz transformed its platform.

Today, a user on LikeQuiz can log in with a fleeting thought: "I want to make a quiz about 90s cartoons."
Within seconds, the AI-Powered Quiz Editor presents them with a draft:

  • Title: "Only a True 90s Kid Can Name These 10 Cartoons."
  • Description: "Time to travel back to Saturday morning! Put down the cereal and test your memory."
  • Questions: 10 fully generated trivia questions with correct and incorrect options.
  • Results: Ranks ranging from "Couch Potato" to "90s Legend."

The Business Impact

By partnering with MAIKA, LikeQuiz successfully bridged the gap between consumption and creation.

  • Content Explosion: The barrier to entry dropped, leading to a surge in user-generated content across diverse categories like Astrology, Travel, and Movies.
  • Community Deepening: Users weren't just sharing results; they were sharing their creations, fostering the strong sense of community that is central to the LikeQuiz mission.
  • Innovation Leader: The feature cemented LikeQuiz as an innovator in the space, moving beyond simple scripts to true AI-assisted entertainment.

MAIKA provided the technology, but LikeQuiz provided the playground. Together, they proved that with the right AI tools, anyone can be creative.
