The "Feedback Sandwich" Generator
Effective feedback usually follows a structure: What went well, what needs improvement, and a positive look forward.
Input: "John is great at coding, fast delivery. But he doesn't talk in meetings enough. Needs to mentor juniors more."
Prompt: "Write a performance review paragraph based on these notes. Be professional and constructive."
Output:
"John has consistently demonstrated excellent technical skills this quarter, delivering high-quality code at an impressive speed. To take his career to the next level, I would love to see him take a more active role in team meetings and share his knowledge. Mentoring junior developers would be a great way for him to leverage his expertise and increase his impact on the team."
Self-Reviews
Writing about yourself is even harder.
Input: "I launched the new billing system. It was hard but i did it. No downtime."
Prompt: "Rewrite this for a self-performance review. Highlight the impact and difficulty."
Output:
"Successfully led the migration to the new billing system, a high-risk initiative. Executed the launch with zero downtime, ensuring business continuity and improving payment processing reliability."
Bias Check
AI can also help remove bias.
Prompt: "Check this review for any biased language or subjective criticism."
Make review season less painful. Give your team the thoughtful feedback they deserve, without the writer's block.
