New Mentimeter AI-enhanced features

Mentimeter have introduced two AI-enhanced features to help support you when building your presentations.

Create a presentation with the AI Menti Builder

The AI Menti Builder is an automated way of creating a starting point for your Mentimeter presentation. Designed to save you time, all you have to do is provide a simple prompt outlining your presentation purpose, and it will create a fully designed draft for you. Then all you’ll need to do is refine your Menti ahead of your upcoming presentation.

The AI is looking for two things in your prompt: the ‘Type’ of session (workshop, presentation, quiz, survey, etc.) and the ‘Topic’. A good prompt could look something like this: ‘Educational presentation about Machine Learning’.

Group responses to Open-Ended questions using AI

When Open Ended and Word Cloud questions receive a lot of responses, it can be hard to get a clear overview of your respondents’ answers. You can now use Menti’s AI feature to group the responses received on these types of questions into themes.  As long as you have 10 or more submissions, pressing the ‘space bar’ will automatically group your responses into labelled clusters. We’d recommend you inform students that these are generated using AI, and ensure you haven’t asked participants to input any personal details.

Group names can be changed manually, or responses reassigned to another group. The summary shows on the screen in real time and these are not stored, so previously generated summaries cannot be accessed.

Applying the Profanity Filter

With these slide types there is a risk that your audience may enter improper responses. Make sure the profanity filter is enabled, so that improper words are automatically removed from the presentation view. You can also click on improper responses to remove them from the presentation screen. And remember, pressing ‘H’ is a shortcut key to hide the results entirely (press ‘H’ again to toggle back on). As an instructor, you’ll still be able to view all the input, including the filtered words, from the Results page.
