Three steps. You decide what gets uploaded.

CourtPilot runs in your browser — nothing to install. PDFs and text files can be read right on your device if you prefer; anything you do send us is stored in Canada and deleted the moment you say so.

1

Add your PDF or Word file

Drag a court book, factum, or compendium into CourtPilot. PDFs and plain-text files can be read on your device without uploading. Word files (.docx) need to be sent to us to be converted first.

2

Choose your settings

Pick your tab-reference format and toggle options like bookmarks and exhibit links. If a step needs to send your document to our servers, we tell you and ask first — every time.

3

Get a fully hyperlinked PDF

Hit Run. CourtPilot scans every page, detects every tab and cross-reference, and gives you back a new PDF with working hyperlinks — in seconds. Download it, or keep it in your matter library.

Everything you need to get filed

Auto Tab Hyperlinking

Detects "Tab 3", "Tab A", "Schedule 1", "Exhibit B" and dozens of other formats. Generates clickable links to each tab divider page.

On-Device Option

Prefer not to upload? CourtPilot can read PDFs and text files right in your browser, so the file never reaches us. Word documents need converting on our servers — we'll say so before anything is sent.

Word → PDF Conversion

Send us a .docx, .doc, or .rtf and we convert it to PDF with your formatting intact, then hyperlink it. Conversion happens on our Canadian servers — the one step that can't run on your device.

PDF Bookmarks

Generates a bookmark tree from your tab structure so judges and opposing counsel can navigate in any PDF reader.

Batch Processing

Add several PDFs at once, or a multi-part court book. CourtPilot works through every file in sequence and files the results in your matter library.

Seconds, Not Hours

A typical 60-tab court book is processed in under 90 seconds. The job most people do by hand the night before filing takes about as long as making tea.

Any Computer, Nothing to Install

Works in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or a library computer. Nothing to download, no licence key to lose — sign in and your matter is there.

AI-Assist (Optional)

Opt-in AI catches ambiguous cross-references and reads messy or scanned documents. Off by default — you're asked each time, only the text is sent, and no documents are ever stored.

Privacy first

Your documents.
Your call, every time.

These are your medical records, your bank statements, your family's private business. So CourtPilot is built on one rule: nothing leaves your device without you agreeing to it first — and the box is never pre-ticked.

PDFs and text files can be read entirely in your browser, so the file never reaches us at all.
Documents you do save are stored in Canada (AWS Montreal), encrypted, and never handed to anyone else.
Delete means deleted. The file is destroyed, not flagged — we keep only a dated record that a deletion happened.
No ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels. We don't sell your data and we never will.
One honest exception: if you turn on AI-assist, the text of that document is sent to an AI provider in the United States to be read. We ask first, we send text only, and nothing is kept — but it does leave Canada. Leave AI off and it never happens.

  • Keep your documents in one place
  • Track your court dates and deadlines
  • As many matters as you need
  • Hyperlinking and filing tools need a pass

Prices in Canadian dollars. One pass covers one matter for 90 days — if your case runs longer, you can buy another.
You can have up to three matters on the go at once. Need longer, or stuck on the cost? Email us — we would rather hear from you than have you go unrepresented.

Common questions

Do my documents get uploaded?
Only when you agree to it. CourtPilot can read PDFs and plain-text files right inside your browser, so those files never reach us. Word documents (.docx) have to be sent to our servers to be converted, and saving a document to your matter library uploads it by definition. Whenever a step needs to send something, we tell you before it happens — the box is never pre-ticked. Anything we do hold is stored in Canada, and you can delete it permanently at any time.
What file formats are supported?
Any standard PDF. CourtPilot also accepts .docx, .doc, and .rtf files — converting them to PDF first via Microsoft Word (if installed) or LibreOffice, then hyperlinking the result.
Which tab-reference formats does it recognise?
CourtPilot handles "Tab 1 / Tab A / Tab A-1", "Exhibit A", "Schedule 1", "Volume II", and configurable custom patterns. New formats are added with each release — email us if yours isn't covered.
What is the AI-assist feature?
An optional helper that reads messy or scanned documents and catches cross-references the automatic scan can't resolve. It sends only the text — not page images, not the original file. It is off unless you turn it on, and you're asked each time rather than once. Two things worth knowing plainly: the text goes to an AI provider based in the United States, so that step leaves Canada; and CourtPilot does not store the document — it passes through and is gone. If you would rather nothing left the country, leave AI-assist off and everything else still works.
How does the Matter Pass work?
You buy one pass for one court case. It unlocks the full toolset for that matter for 90 days from purchase. There's no licence key to enter and nothing to install — it's attached to your account, so signing in anywhere gives you access. It does not renew on its own and there's no card kept on file. If your case is still going after 90 days, you can buy another pass. You can have up to three matters active at once.
Is CourtPilot legal advice?
No, and this matters. CourtPilot is document software — it formats, hyperlinks, and organises what you have written, and it tracks dates you enter. It cannot tell you what to argue, whether you have a case, or what a rule means for your situation. If you can reach a lawyer, a legal clinic, or duty counsel, that is worth doing even if you handle the paperwork yourself.
Do I need Microsoft Word or any software?
No. CourtPilot runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to buy or install — a borrowed laptop or a library computer works fine. If you upload a Word file we convert it for you; you don't need Word yourself.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email hello@courtpilot.ca and tell us what happened. If CourtPilot couldn't do what you bought it for, we will make it right.
