Abstract
This paper presents a mobile application designed to improve the peer review and feedback process for student writers using a combination of community discussion tools and AI-guided support. The platform addresses challenges in receiving constructive feedback by offering structured peer engagement, instructional resources, and AI-generated suggestions through a guided prompt system. The app was developed using Flutter and Firebase, with components for user-authored drafts, a public feedback forum, and an AI Assistant [11]. Key challenges included ensuring feedback quality and controlling AI behavior, both of which were addressed through surveys, structured inputs, and testing. Experiments evaluated AI adherence to its role and system response times, confirming that prompt structure improves behavior and that system performance is impacted by network conditions. Compared to other scholarly methods, this solution emphasizes guided autonomy, trust calibration, and user-centered design [12]. Ultimately, the application enhances student learning, feedback exchange, and writing improvement while preventing overreliance on automated editing.
