Popular Features:
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
With its simple navigation and drag-and-drop item building tools, Scorpion AIG’s graphical user interface (GUI) is easy for non-technical team members to use.
Asset Library
Load your own data sources to build your items. From images, videos, and glossary terms to first names and pronouns, create custom data sources and variables for your templates.
Psychometric Reviews
Psychometrically review the pool of items you created using Automated Item Generation, then test them and make adjustments to your item pool as needed.
Custom-Code Enabled
For those individuals who want to go beyond the GUI, Scorpion allows custom coding for AIG models. However, while coding is supported, it’s certainly not required.

Caveon AIG helps rapidly increase the size of your item pool, while also enabling secure exam designs. This, in turn, helps reduce item exposure and keeps you ahead of content thieves and aging exams.
Longevity
Give your exams a much longer lifespan by increasing the number of items and forms available and reducing item exposure. Decrease republication efforts by replacing compromised items and forms as soon as you learn of their disclosure.
Efficiency
Give your development team the tools to supercharge their efforts and reduce inevitable human error by using AIG to generate your new items. Save your team’s valuable time and effort for the review process.
Savings
AIG is the most cost-effective way to rapidly expand your items—saving development and security costs and making your item pools last longer, which saves resources over the long run.
