Meta employees are using company’s AI chatbot to write performance reviews; but not everyone ‘trusts’ it

Meta employees are reportedly turning to the company’s own AI chatbot to help write their performance reviews. According to a Business Insider report, the tool is reportedly being used by staff to streamline year-end reviews, even though some employees say it doesn’t always understand context. The internal AI assistant, called Metamate, works like ChatGPT and can scan through an employee’s documents to summarize their achievements and feedback.

The report quotes a Meta employee named Joseph Spisak – product director in Meta’s Superintelligence Labs. Speaking at the TechEquity AI Summit in Sunnyvale, California, Spisak said that he uses Metamate to summarize his performance for reviews.
