AI PERFORMANCE CONVERSATION FACILITATOR

Meet Zed. The Voice AI that facilitates performance conversations. From goal setting to reviews.

Zed isn't just the notetaker. She sits inside performance conversations between managers and direct reports — holding the structure, guiding the flow, scoring, and maintaining psychological safety. Every conversation happens with the same consistency and rigour. So HR gets structured performance data, leaders get real-time insight, and managers get more time to actually lead their people.

The Problem

The Manager

Performance conversations take time, energy, and skill. And with everything else on a manager's plate, they get deprioritised, rushed, or skipped entirely.

The Consistency

When conversations get rushed or skipped, performance support — the core of high-performing cultures — is no longer delivered consistently, nor with consistency.

The Data

Without consistency and structured capture, performance data relies on memory. Important, and expensive, talent decisions get made on impression, not evidence.

Without alignment between individual goals and business strategy, we miss the opportunity to develop talent and drive high performance.
The Solution

With Zed, you get:

  • - Conversations that actually happen. Zed schedules, prompts, and runs them for you.
  • - Structured facilitation. Same framework, same rigour, every manager, every time.
  • - Defensible scoring. Zed guides ratings against your criteria in the moment.
  • - Psychologically safer conversations. Managers can lead. Direct reports can speak honestly.
  • - Cumulative memory. Every check-in feeds the mid-year. Every mid-year feeds the annual.
  • - Real-time performance intelligence. Leaders and HR sees performance patterns as they emerge, not at year-end.
More meaningful conversations. Consistent data. Real-time dashboards for better talent decisions.
