AI tools like ChatGPT are often associated with classic text output: articles, emails, or short answers.
In practice, ChatGPT can also be used to generate structured content that can be processed further – for example, for quiz formats or social video content.
This article uses the project InsightEUQuiz to show how quiz questions can be generated with ChatGPT, automatically processed in Canva, and then published as YouTube Shorts.
ChatGPT as a generator for structured content
One key aspect when working with ChatGPT is the output format.
Instead of generating questions and answers as plain text, ChatGPT can be used very effectively to produce structured formats such as CSV.
Quiz questions as data, not text
For a quiz format, the following structure works well:
- question
- answer A
- answer B
- answer C
- answer D
- correct answer
- short explanation
ChatGPT can output this content directly as a CSV file. The advantages are clear:
- consistent structure
- easy to review
- immediately usable in other tools
Canva as an accessible tool for video templates
Canva is particularly suitable for visual implementation, even without prior experience in image or video editing.
Instead of complex editing software, Canva offers:
- an intuitive interface
- ready-made video formats (e.g. 9:16 for Shorts)
- drag-and-drop layout elements
Building a quiz template for YouTube Shorts
In Canva, a custom template can be created that contains all fixed elements:
- title area
- question text
- answer options
- colors and typography
This template then serves as the basis for all quiz videos.
Bulk creation with CSV: automation without code
One particularly powerful feature in Canva is Bulk Create.
It allows you to import a CSV file and map its fields to placeholders in your template.
The workflow at a glance
- Generate quiz questions and answers with ChatGPT as CSV
- Import the CSV file into Canva
- Connect CSV fields to placeholders in the template
- Canva automatically generates multiple videos from one template
This way, a single template can produce a large number of quiz videos with minimal manual effort.
Publishing as YouTube Shorts
The generated videos can then be published directly as YouTube Shorts.
This is how the YouTube channel @InsightEUQuiz was created: a quiz format focused on the European Union, without traditional video production and without complex post-processing.
Why this approach works well
- ChatGPT delivers structured, reusable content
- CSV acts as the bridge between AI and design tools
- Canva dramatically lowers the barrier for visual content creation
- The entire process is scalable
Conclusion
By combining ChatGPT and Canva, it’s possible to build complete content workflows – not just individual texts:
- content creation
- data structuring
- visual production
- publishing
InsightEUQuiz demonstrates that this does not require advanced design or video skills – just a clear structure and the right tools.
