Why It Matters

15 Reviews Written in Minutes

The agent drafts structured reviews from real data — goal completion, peer feedback, and manager notes. Managers edit and approve instead of writing from scratch.

-- Eliminate Recency Bias

Continuous data collection means Q1 contributions weigh equally with Q4. Reviews reflect the full year, not just the last month a manager can remember.

-- Real-Time OKR Tracking

Goal progress is monitored continuously with automatic alerts when targets are at risk. Managers adjust priorities mid-quarter instead of discovering failures at the end.

-- Actionable Manager Nudges

Context-specific reminders replace generic deadline warnings. "Alex's pipeline goal is at 40% with 3 weeks left" drives action; "Reviews due soon" does not.

How It Works

Agent collects performance data

Pulls from goals, OKRs, peer feedback, project completions, and attendance records.

Drafts review and flags trends

Creates a structured review summary highlighting strengths, areas for growth, and data-backed insights.

Manager reviews and approves

Manager edits, adds context, and approves. Nothing goes to the employee without human sign-off.

Performance Coach — Frequently Asked Questions

Does the agent write the actual review text?

The agent drafts review summaries based on collected data — goal completion rates, peer feedback quotes, manager notes, and project outcomes. The manager reviews the draft, edits it to add personal context or adjust tone, and approves it before the employee sees anything. The agent provides the evidence; the manager provides the judgment.

What data sources does the Performance Coach use?

It pulls from OKR/goal tracking (native or integrated), peer feedback responses, manager 1-on-1 notes, project management tools (Jira, Asana, Linear), code review metrics for engineering teams, and any custom metrics you define. The more data sources connected, the more comprehensive the review drafts.

How does it handle employees who work across multiple teams?

The agent collects feedback and data from all teams an employee contributes to. The primary manager sees a consolidated view with section breakdowns by team. Dotted-line managers can submit feedback that appears in the review draft alongside direct-line data.

Can we customize the review format and rating scale?

Yes. You define the review template — sections, rating scales (1-5, exceeds/meets/below, or custom), competency frameworks, and required fields. The agent generates drafts that follow your format exactly. Templates can differ by department or role level.

How far back does the agent look when drafting reviews?

The agent uses the full review period — typically one quarter or one year, depending on your cycle. It weights data evenly across the period to eliminate recency bias. If you switch to Zimyo mid-cycle, the agent uses whatever data is available from connected sources and notes the coverage gap.

What happens if a manager ignores the nudges?

After three ignored nudges on the same item, the agent escalates to the manager's manager or HR, depending on your escalation policy. The escalation includes what was due, when the nudges were sent, and the current status. This is configurable — you set the threshold and escalation path.
