# Windmill AI-assisted performance management for reviews, 1:1s, feedback, and team listening. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Business Software ## What is Windmill? Windmill is a performance management platform for teams, with AI agent Windy supporting recurring people workflows. It brings together performance reviews, 1:1 meetings, continuous feedback, pulse surveys, and calibration preparation. Windy gathers context from work tools and conversations, helps organize agendas and review material, and produces summaries or discussion prompts. The aim is to make people processes easier to run while keeping relevant work and prior discussions available to managers and employees. ## What can Windmill do? ### Performance review support Windy helps guide review cycles with prompts, summaries, and draft material based on gathered context. The homepage describes review completion as faster and includes user feedback about recapping accomplishments and providing a starting point for writing. ### Contextual 1:1 agendas Windy gathers suggested topics from recent work, prior meetings, and input from both participants. Action items and discussion threads can carry forward between meetings, while employees or managers can send agenda topics through Slack or add them in the platform. ### AI briefings before 1:1s Catch Me Up creates a pre-meeting briefing tailored to the relationship, such as a direct report, manager, or peer. It can surface recent activity, goals, blockers, feedback, or coordination topics using work information the user already has access to, with citations to check sources. ### Conversational pulse surveys Teams can describe what they want to learn in a Pulse Prompt; Windy turns it into an editable discussion guide and chats with employees in Slack or the Windmill dashboard. It summarizes themes and provides action items, with options for one-time, recurring, calendar-triggered, and new-hire check-ins. ### Calibration pre-reads and grid Before calibration meetings, pre-reads identify rating discrepancies, potential bias, and topics for discussion. The reports also score manager feedback for actionability on a 1-to-5 scale; a shared calibration grid lets facilitators adjust ratings in real time. ## Use Cases ### Run a performance review cycle Use Windy to help employees and managers recall relevant accomplishments and organize review writing, reducing the need to reconstruct a period of work from memory. ### Prepare for recurring manager 1:1s Before each meeting, gather topics from both participants, review recent work and previous discussion threads, and bring forward open action items so follow-ups remain visible. ### Check team sentiment or blockers Launch a targeted pulse around a team question, offsite, or organizational change. Windy can collect conversational responses and return key themes and suggested actions while the pulse is underway. ### Prepare a review committee Share pre-reads ahead of calibration discussions so committee members can examine differences in ratings, potential bias signals, and feedback that may need clearer evidence or development guidance. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can employees and managers both add topics to a 1:1 agenda? Yes. Both participants can add topics in Windmill or message Windy in Slack. Agenda items appear in a collaborative document with relevant work context. ### Does Windmill require 1:1 meetings to be recorded? No. Windy can build agendas and draw context from integrated systems without a recording. When meeting transcripts or notes are available, supported sources can appear in the meeting view; audio and video remain on the source platform. ### How are pulse surveys delivered and summarized? Windy can chat with employees through Slack or the Windmill dashboard. You can launch a single pulse, schedule recurring sends, tie a pulse to a calendar event, or set up new-hire check-ins. Windmill provides generated themes and action items. ### What does Windmill cost?
