Tips

Questions

Can I use this for Google Forms attendance tracking?

It does the same job. It is an AI Form API form, not a Google Form.

Does it make a QR code?

No. You get a public link. Make a QR code from it with any QR maker.

How do I find out who was absent?

Compare the CSV with your class list. Or give both to your AI.
