Hey Hacker News,

This is a small tool my brother and I worked over the holiday season.

It helps you write performance reviews, cover letters, and even parts of your CV. It's goal is to make it easy for you to go from the crisp thoughts inside your head to the fuzzy prose that's required in these HR interactions.

ChatGPT does the heavy lifting of course. This thing is magic!

We're both been managers at one time or another, and struggled to get the writing just right in these formal interactions. We also both wanted to try out ChatGPT in a more "production" setting. So my brother had the initial idea of taking the drudgery away from writing performance reviews. One thing led to another, and through feedback and early demos the tool is broader than we originally anticipated.

Even though it's still a toy right now, we're hoping it proves useful to folks. Comments, critiques, improvements are most welcome.

Thank you!

I get the idea, the motivation behind it, but as an employee, the first time I get an AI-generated performance report on myself is the day I change company. Can't be bothered to offer a real, human experience when providing performance reviews ? Then I won't bother to work.

HR is one of the area where chatbots should NOT be reigning. It is literally named "Human Resources".

Hey Uberzi, I'm one of the devs behind DeepReview.

Thanks for having a look and expressing your opinion. We're definitely in the pre-PMF phase so any honest feedback helps.

Do you reckon help with writing cover letters, referrals or parts of a CV might be a better fit in your eyes?

I don’t understand the cynicism. Are you also the type to say “can’t be bothered to properly indent your code? Forget formatters; you should be out of work.”

If you check out the actual website you’ll see that you’re still expected to fill in all the correct information. It just translated what you write (ie point form) into a different format.

I find this tool very useful because I’m expected to write half a dozen peer performance reviews for my colleagues each quarter. This takes it from “Mark gives good code reviews, but is slow to respond to my questions and shows up late to meetings” to a professional review.

I wouldn’t worry about their comment. Uberzi doesn’t have a single positive comment on HN.

How are you using ChatGPT? AFAIK, there's no API for ChatGPT yet.

Thank you for taking the time KMnO4. We went through a couple of iterations on how to position this thing. It's not perfect for sure, but we don't want it to be "cheating on this important feedback". Especially in the manager to report relationship. But quality writing is hard, so if this thing can help you get to 90% of the way it's a good tradeoff I think.
