Replaces stressful annual reviews with check-ins people actually use.
Annual performance reviews are the worst way to manage people. They're stressful, they focus on what happened six months ago, and by the time the review happens the feedback is stale and the moment to act on it is gone. This agent shifts you to something better: a continuous feedback model that runs quietly in the background.
It prompts managers with simple check-in questions every two weeks — no blank-page problem, no 'what did this person even do in Q1?' scramble. It tracks goals, notes achievements as they happen, and surfaces patterns: who's consistently delivering, who's struggling, who hasn't received any feedback from their manager in too long. Problems get spotted while coaching can still fix them, instead of at the exit interview.
When it's time for a formal review, everything is already documented. No scrambling to remember what someone did in February — just a clear record and a much better conversation. Reviews stop being an annual confrontation and start being a summary of a year of small, regular ones. Takes minutes a week, and it makes both managers and employees dread the review cycle a lot less.
