Confirm now enables AI-Powered Manager Reviews to help managers draft thoughtful, consistent, and actionable performance reviews, while reducing bias. Confirm’s AI assistant synthesizes performance data already visible in the Manager Review page (ONA data, self-reflection responses, recognition, and feedback) and generates a first draft of ratings and comments that managers can edit and personalize.
This feature is designed to:
Act as a starting point by producing first-draft feedback in seconds
Ensure consistency with structured, evidence-based examples
Support better conversations by anchoring on all available Confirm data
Reduce bias by focusing on objective, rendered performance data
How it works
See this AI-Powered Manager Reviews guide to understand the functionality.
Best Practices for Managers
The review is ultimately yours. You are the employee’s manager and accountable for everything written. Be mindful of what you include.
Confirm can help with clarity, tone, and structure, but you are responsible for the content and will be communicating your review to your employee in your conversation. It’s important that you can stand behind what you write.
Review what AI provides. Do not copy and paste without editing. Read carefully, adjust for accuracy and personalize with your perspective and examples.
While you do not need to include a prompt for the functionality to work, including a prompt can enhance or refine the draft responses. See guidance below on effective prompts.
Iterate and refine. The AI feature allows you to try multiple drafts. If the first result isn’t right, you can adjust your instructions and run it again.
Guiding Principles for Good Prompts
If you choose to include a prompt, here are some tips for impactful prompting:
Be specific and include context (goals, time period, challenges)
Ask for balanced feedback (strengths + areas for improvement)
Ask for suggestions or actionable next steps
Tie feedback to evidence (projects, metrics, behaviors)
Use a tone aligned with your organization (e.g., coaching, direct, developmental)
Example Prompts for Manager Review (for first prompt and refining)
“Write a concise summary of [Employee Name]’s performance this review period, highlighting major accomplishments, overall strengths, and key areas to improve. Use evidence from objectives, peer feedback, and continuous feedback.”
“Frame the overall feedback in a way that is motivating, respectful, and development-oriented.”
“Generate an objective, evidence-based review for [Employee] that focuses on results and behaviors, avoiding vague or biased language.”
“List 3–4 strengths of [Employee] this cycle, each with a concrete example. Then list 2–3 development areas, with suggestions on how they can improve.”
“Explain why you would give a [rating, e.g., “Exceeds expectations” / “Meets expectations” / “Needs Improvement”] in [competency, e.g., “teamwork” or “execution”] for [Employee], referencing objectives, feedback, or results as evidence.”
