AI-assisted review writing

Autessa Homebase includes AI-assisted performance review writing: a “Draft with the assistant” button on each review drafts answers from the person’s goals and the feedback they received. It only runs when the writer clicks, and the answer is marked as drafted with the assistant.

The problem

The blank page is the hardest part of a review

Writers know the work but struggle to start, and reviews end up short or vague. The Homebase assistant gives them a first draft grounded in the goals and feedback already on record, which they then edit in their own words.

How it works

  2. Click Draft with the assistant

    The assistant opens with a request to draft answers from the person’s goals and feedback.

  3. Read and edit

    The draft goes into your answers. Change anything; it autosaves as a draft.

  4. Submit

    When you submit, the answer is marked as drafted with the assistant, so readers and HR know.

How the assistant helps

Ask “Draft my self-review from my goals and feedback” or “What reviews do I need to write?”. The assistant acts as you, sees only what you can see, and you review every word before submitting.

It acts with your own access, and anything important waits for you to press Confirm.
