Its architecture combines a 120+ point review rubric with cutting-edge on-device processing powered by WebAssembly and WebGPU, ensuring data privacy and rapid performance across diverse computing environments. Developed from insights gained during extensive expert interviews and validation efforts, ReviewerAI attempts to minimize bias and accelerate decision-making by generating interactive, annotated review reports that guide authors towards enhancing their work. Its modular, SaaS-based design allows integration into existing editorial systems and supports tailored workflows for academic publishers, research institutions, and individual scholars. Designed for scalability, ReviewerAI not only streamlines the review process but also promotes transparency and accountability in scholarly evaluations. Our aim is not only to present a novel technological solution but also to encourage an open dialogue on next-generation workflows and methodologies that can enhance efficiency, transparency, and fairness throughout the peer review ecosystem.
