Short answer

How can I get a continuous stream of trivia questions?

Your AI uses a session token to request batches of unique questions from the database. It keeps the questions from repeating so your game stays fresh. You get a clean list of questions, answers, and categories.

What you get from the AI

The AI manages the data flow so you can focus on the game logic.

DATA

Fresh question sets

The AI fetches specific batches of questions based on your requirements. You receive structured trivia data without duplicates.

SESSION

Managed tokens

The agent handles the session token to ensure the database knows you're requesting new, non-repeating content.

RESETS

Clean slate starts

If you need to restart the question sequence, the AI can reset the session token to clear the history.

HUMAN

Content review

You decide which questions are actually good enough for your app. The AI provides the raw data, but you handle the final curation.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your prompt and the trivia database.

  1. Initialize session

    The AI starts by getting a valid token to communicate with the database.

    request_session_token

  2. Fetch questions

    The agent pulls a specific number of questions and answers from the database.

    get_trivia_questions

  3. Handle repeats

    The AI uses the session token to ensure the questions don't overlap with previous pulls.

    get_trivia_questions

  4. Clear history

    If you want to start a brand new sequence, the AI wipes the current session state.
