Hey PH 👋, Brennan here (co-founder). So excited to finally launch this. Let's be honest: traditional performance management tools are a nightmare. They're clunky, outdated, and completely disconnected from the real work that people do every day. We've all spent hours ticking boxes and filling out forms, instead of actually managing our teams and work. And worst of all, they're often a source of anxiety and dread, rather than a chance to reflect on achievements and set goals. By the end of a performance season we're all left feeling demoralized and disconnected, with no sense of purpose or direction. Instead of building the same thing over and over again with a pretter ui... We decided to do something _completely_ different. We built our whole product around the manager. It all starts with a world-class meeting notes app that's been fine-tuned to be the best app for 1:1 meetings. We've prioritized everything managers need to actually _want_ to use us every day. Goal updates are then added to the agenda, so they happen in the flow of meetings. Not only increasing the odds of you hitting them but gathering more performance data. Then comes the magic ✨. With 26 weeks of 1:1 and goal data, we can actually generate a great self or performance review in seconds (instead of weeks). We think it's game changing. Excited to hear your thoughts.

@i_am_brennan we’ve launched some pretty incredible tools over the years for first time managers, experienced leaders, employees, and company leaders and this launch is the one I’m most exited to get into people’s hands. Like you said, this new product feature set is the magic that you basically get for free, after having great one-on-one, team meetings and goal checkins. Put in the work, document what you do, and the end of yea, the performance review you get for free. It’s incredibly powerful, and fully embodies our unique approach to helping companies become performance oriented, without the busy admin work. ☺️

Love the idea! While I've never written long-form performance reviews I do write many employer references and I hate it. Take so much time. Any plans in expanding the feature to include employer reference letters too?

@carlobadini Great idea. Actually, by just tweaking the template we're using for the review, I'm sure this would create a great reference letter with very little extra work. We'll definitely go there if customers take us there. But I think you get the broader point. As an organization, we're dedicated to helping managers, ergo we asked ourselves how can we make _this_ process 1000x better? Once we do, it'll be on to the next one.

@carlobadini @i_am_brennan That's an interesting idea, and as brennan mention, would only be a tweak in the prompting messages used to to create the reviews. This is just the beginning of this very powerful feature offering and if customer's want it, we'll build it out 😃

Love it! In my past life I would comb through months of my Gdrive to find things that I’ve worked on to present in reviews. Then I needed to write enough to demonstrate what I was able to accomplish. I dreaded it. You’ll honestly be saving me at least dozens of hours. Great work team!

Just about everyone I know dreads performance review time. As a manager of a smaller team, I'm no exception. Between maintaining an accurate view of my team's delivery and accomplishments and providing my own summarized view of the impact my team and I have had on the organization, we're talking _hours_ of sunk time. Every member of my team has a 1:1 Hypercontext workspace where we track goals, challenges, and key events throughout the year. This feature is exactly the sort of thing that changes holistic experiences across an organization... enough to shift *perspectives* and turn review time into something less dreadful! :D

As a CEO, I've always believed if you do incremental feedback and improvements properly reviews are an output of that vs an input for another process. This looks to easily operationalize that philosophy, excited to try it!
