Hypercontext

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 They're clunky, outdated, and completely disconnected from the real work that people do every day.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.

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?

Looking forward to using this!!

I genuinely use Hypercontext for my weekly 1:1's so seeing this feature launched is so amazing and adds a lot of depth to an already fantastic app! Keep up the good work!

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!

Congrats on the launch, ya'll! This is an insane improvement + new feature!!! 👏

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
