Performance reviews,
as a conversation.

Dialogyx™ replaces the review form with a chat. Colombyx™ asks good questions, follows up when an answer is thin, and turns what you said into a specific, written review. You edit it and approve it before anyone else sees it.

Colombyx opening a self-review chat with Jordan: it explains what the chat covers, that it takes about 20 minutes, that it's private, and asks the first question. A side panel lists the eight topics to cover.

Meet Colombyx

Colombyx is your review companion. It asks one question at a time. When an answer is vague, it asks for an example. When you've said enough, it moves on. You can stop whenever you like, and everything is saved.

  • Follows up on vague answers, but only a set number of times per topic (twice by default), so it never nags.
  • Notices when one answer covers several topics, and doesn't ask again.
  • Reads your notes, like a brag doc or goals sheet, so you don't start from a blank page.

The name comes from the Italian colomba, "dove", with the "-yx" of Dialogyx.

Why a conversation works better

Forms ask everyone the same questions and accept whatever comes back. A good conversation asks for the example.

Specific, not vague

Colombyx asks for examples and impact, so the finished review has real evidence in it.

People decide

Colombyx drafts the text and suggests ratings with its reasons. A person confirms every rating and approves every word.

Private by default

Your chat is your thinking space. Only the review you submit is shared, never the conversation.

From chat to a review you'd sign

When the chat is done, Colombyx writes the draft from what you actually said. Every rating comes with its reason and the evidence behind it. Accept it, change it, or ask Colombyx to revise a section.

Nothing is invented. If you didn't say it, it isn't in the draft.

A self-review draft: the Results and impact section in Jordan's words, then Colombyx's proposed rating, 4 Strong, with the reason and three pieces of evidence, and buttons to accept or change it.

One cycle, all linked

Your manager's conversation builds on your self-review and your colleagues' feedback, so nothing gets asked twice.
