Setting Up Your ClickUp AI Agent Inputs

Proper setup is the foundation of a high‑quality performance review. The Employee Performance Review AI Agent guides you through the prompts you need to complete.

1. Enter basic employee information in ClickUp

Begin by capturing the core details about the employee being reviewed.

Employee name and job title
Department or team
Manager or reviewer name
Review period start and end dates

Make sure names and titles are spelled correctly to keep the review professional and consistent across your ClickUp workspace.

2. Define goals and expectations for the review

Next, describe the expectations set at the beginning of the review cycle.

Summarize primary goals or OKRs
Note any role-specific responsibilities
Include success criteria, such as quality, speed, or collaboration metrics

The AI Agent uses this information to align feedback with what was originally expected from the employee.

3. Add performance evidence and examples

Provide concrete data and examples so your ClickUp AI Agent can create rich, specific content.

Major achievements or delivered projects
Metrics like sales, tickets closed, or NPS
Feedback from peers, customers, or stakeholders
Areas where deadlines were missed or expectations were not met

Well-documented evidence helps the AI Agent produce balanced and actionable commentary instead of vague statements.

Generating the First Draft with ClickUp AI Agents

Once your inputs are ready, you can let the Employee Performance Review AI Agent produce an initial draft.

4. Choose the review style and tone in ClickUp

Select how you want the performance review to sound. The AI Agent can adapt to the style that best fits your organization.

Formal and structured performance reviews
Conversational but professional tone
Strength-based or development-focused framing
Balanced mix of recognition and improvement areas

Setting tone preferences upfront guides the language and phrasing your AI Agent uses throughout the review.

5. Generate the performance review draft

Now use your ClickUp AI Agent to create a complete draft.

Confirm all required fields are filled in the AI Agent interface.
Click the button to generate or draft the employee review.
Wait a few moments while the AI Agent composes the content.
Review the initial draft displayed in your ClickUp document or task.

The draft typically includes sections like overall summary, strengths, opportunities, and forward-looking goals.

Refining Your Review with ClickUp AI Agents

The real power of ClickUp AI Agents emerges when you iterate on the first draft using targeted prompts and edits.

6. Improve clarity and specificity

Ask the Employee Performance Review AI Agent to enhance clarity where needed.

Replace vague phrases with measurable language
Make sure each point ties to a concrete example
Adjust wording to match your internal HR guidelines

You can highlight a paragraph and request revisions for tone, length, or level of detail directly within your ClickUp workspace.

7. Balance strengths and areas for improvement

Use your AI Agent to maintain a constructive tone.

Ensure every improvement point is paired with support or resources
Highlight specific strengths aligned with company values
Reframe negative language into growth-focused statements

This helps you deliver reviews that are honest yet motivating, and consistent across managers using ClickUp.

8. Generate SMART goals and development plans

Ask the Employee Performance Review AI Agent to draft goals and next steps based on the evidence you provided.

Specific, measurable goals tied to KPIs
Timelines and milestones for improvement
Training, mentoring, or resources required
Clear expectations for the next review cycle

These AI-generated suggestions can be adjusted by managers and then tracked as tasks in your ClickUp environment.

Collaborating on Reviews Inside ClickUp

ClickUp is built for collaboration, and your AI Agents work within that collaborative framework.

9. Share and review with stakeholders

Once your draft is in a good state, share it with HR or other leaders.

Tag stakeholders in comments to gather feedback
Use task assignments to track review and approval
Maintain version history as you apply suggested edits

You can also link the review to related goals, projects, or HR processes inside ClickUp.

10. Finalize and store performance reviews

When the review is approved, finalize the document so it is easy to reference later.

Lock or restrict editing access
Attach the review to the employee’s main profile task or folder
Link it to goals or OKRs that came out of the review

Centralized storage makes audits and future reviews faster, since historical data is already available in ClickUp.
