Frequently Asked Questions
Will it invent achievements?
It can fill gaps with plausible-sounding accomplishments. This is the thing to watch: a review crediting someone with a project they did not work on destroys the credibility of the whole document, and the employee will notice immediately. Delete anything you did not write in your notes.
Can I use a low-rated review as the basis for dismissal?
Not on its own, and not without advice. Performance management leading to dismissal has procedural requirements in most jurisdictions — documented objectives, support offered, reasonable time to improve, and a fair process. A generated review is a drafting aid inside that process, never a shortcut through it.
Should I enter the employee's name?
A first name at most. Performance data is sensitive personal data under GDPR and equivalent regimes, and it should not be typed into a third-party tool in identifiable form.
How do I make development areas land well?
Specifics and a path forward. 'Needs to improve communication' is unactionable and reads as a personal criticism. 'Weekly updates to stakeholders were inconsistent in Q2; agreed to send a Friday summary' names the behaviour and what changes.
Does it recommend a pay rise?
It includes a compensation and progression section reflecting the rating you set. Treat it as a placeholder — pay decisions depend on budget, banding and internal relativities that the tool knows nothing about.
About Performance Review Writer
The Performance Review Writer turns your notes into a structured review: overall summary, achievements, development areas, a review of previous goals, goals for the next period, training recommendations and a progression recommendation.
Everything depends on the specificity of your notes. A review built from 'good year, strong communicator' produces fluent content that could describe anyone, and employees can tell. A review built from three dated examples produces something that reads as though someone was paying attention, which is most of what people want from the process.
Watch for invented achievements. A model asked to write a positive review will supply plausible accomplishments, and crediting someone with work they did not do undermines every other sentence in the document. Cut anything that was not in your notes.
Two cautions. Keep employee data out of the input — performance information is sensitive personal data and a first name is plenty. And a poor review is one step in a process with procedural requirements, not a basis for dismissal on its own; take advice before performance management moves in that direction. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
