How does Sembly's AI performance review generator work?
Finish review season without rereading a year of notes.
Why use an AI performance review generator?
Base each review on a full period of 1:1s and project meetings.
Managers remember the last few weeks best, so Sembly drafts reviews from the whole review period.
Tracked commitments
Tasks the employee took on in 1:1s stay on record with deadlines and the manager who assigned them.
Manager approval
You accept or reject each claim about the employee's performance before a single paragraph of the review exists.
FAQ
How do you write a performance review with AI?
Give the AI evidence, not a blank prompt. In Sembly, you add the employee's recorded 1:1s and project meetings from the review period, confirm the facts and claims Sembly found, approve the outline, and download the draft as an editable .docx. The manager then edits the wording and sets the ratings.
How do you avoid recency bias in performance reviews?
Recency bias happens when the last few weeks shape the whole review. The fix is evidence from the entire period. Sembly drafts from meetings recorded across the full review window and cites each achievement with the meeting and date it came from, so a January win sits next to a November one and empty months stand out before you write.
What should a performance review include?
A performance summary, progress on last period’s goals, key achievements, strengths, development areas, and goals for the next period. Sembly drafts each section with examples from the employee’s meetings, or follows your own review template when you upload it.
Can AI write an employee performance review?
AI can write the first draft, and the manager stays the author. Sembly drafts only from the meetings and files you add, shows each claim for you to accept or reject, and leaves ratings and final wording to the manager.
What are good examples to use in a performance review?
Specific, dated ones: a project the employee led, a result it produced, and words a colleague or the employee used in a meeting. Sembly pulls these from 1:1s, retros, and project meetings, and credits each quote to the person who said it.
Are AI performance reviews confidential?
They are with the right access controls. In Sembly, only people with access to a meeting can open it, you can restrict a 1:1 to the people you choose, and your workspace can be excluded from AI model training. Sembly holds SOC 2 Type II and complies with GDPR.
