Platform Features

Everything research applicants need before they hit submit.

ResearchPilot is specific to academic workflows, with features that map to the decisions students and researchers actually make.

Research Intelligence

Convert papers, interests, and goals into a living research profile with strengths, gaps, keywords, and next actions.

Professor Matching

Find faculty whose publications, lab direction, and research themes align with your profile and application strategy.

Scholarship Discovery

Surface funding opportunities and deadlines that match your region, degree level, field, and application readiness.

SOP Generator

Draft statements of purpose grounded in your research story, target program, faculty fit, and academic evidence.

FAQ

Questions academic users ask first.

Clear answers for applicants and researchers evaluating whether ResearchPilot fits their workflow.

How does ResearchPilot work?

ResearchPilot builds a structured research profile from your background, papers, interests, and goals. It then uses that profile to power professor discovery, scholarship matching, SOP generation, outreach drafting, and copilot conversations.

Is my research data private?

The product is designed around private academic workspaces. Your uploaded research context is used to support your workflow, and provider controls help you choose how AI requests are handled.

Which AI models are supported?

ResearchPilot supports OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, and bring-your-own-key provider management.

Can I use my own API key?

Yes. Bring Your Own API Key is part of the provider management workflow, so advanced users can connect preferred model providers when available.

Is there a free plan?

A Free plan is presented as coming soon and includes Guest Mode, limited uploads, limited matching, and limited SOP generation.
