ReviewPilot
Conferences, journals and edited volumes on one platform, with AI where it actually saves time.
Academic event platform (conferences, workshops, journals, edited volumes): submissions, semantic reviewer matching, peer review, integrity checks and the program. The first 100 submissions of every event are free.
- In production
- Free
- iOS app
Overview
Running an academic event often means stitching together a conference tool, a journal portal, a plagiarism-checker subscription and a reviewer spreadsheet. ReviewPilot replaces all of that with one platform, one login and one bill.
Conferences, workshops, rolling journals and edited volumes (Springer or Elsevier style) run on the same engine: submissions, reviewer matching, peer review, decisions and the program. AI steps in where it saves time (semantic matching, integrity checks, metadata pre-fill); every AI feature is optional and priced per use.
ReviewPilot is in production with universities in Tunisia and Saudi Arabia: SMARTECH 2025 at MUST University (Tunis), SusTAIN 2026 at Prince Mugrin University (Madinah) and two edited volumes published by Springer.
The problem
Assigning the right reviewers, spotting conflicts of interest and tracking hundreds of submissions makes running a conference heavy work.
The AI solution
ReviewPilot matches reviewers to papers, detects conflicts, extracts metadata and supports review writing. It automates 80% of workflows.
Key figures
- 500+ active users
- 50+ conferences
- 1000+ papers reviewed
- 80% of workflows automated
- 100 free submissions on every event
- $0.50 per submission beyond that
How it works
Create the event
Sign up online, no credit card; the event is ready in under ten minutes, with a multi-track call for papers.
Collect submissions
Structured forms and a bilingual English and Arabic interface; metadata is pre-filled from the PDF, then checked by the author.
Match reviewers
Embedding-based matching suggests the right reviewers in seconds, and integrity checks run on every submission.
Review and decide
Four-step review forms, rebuttal, meta-review, decision states and bulk-mail templates.
Publish the program
Auto-scheduled sessions, conflict-free tracks and a printable booklet generated in one click from accepted papers.
Features in detail
Smart submissions
Multi-track calls for papers, structured forms, a bilingual English and Arabic interface and a mobile-first experience.
Reviewer matching
Semantic, embedding-based matching rather than keyword search: committees find the right reviewer in seconds, not days.
Structured peer review
Four-step forms, rebuttal, meta-review, decision states and bulk-mail templates for the long tail of correspondence.

Per-submission pricing
$0.50 per submission, first 100 free on every event: no seats, no subscription, no minimum tier.
