Performance happens every day.Most companies only evaluate it once a year.

Every annual review cycle eats up hundreds of hours of writing, chasing and calibrating by hand.

  • Built on manager memory. Managers rebuild months of work from Slack threads and notes, so reviews skew to recent events.
  • HR stuck chasing inputs. Missing reviews, inconsistent ratings and calibration prep done by hand, every cycle.
  • Employees lack feedback. Too little feedback during the year means surprises at review time and disengaged teams.

Without evidence, it's harder to retain top performers and exit low performers.

bra·va

/ˈbrɑː·və/interjectionfrom Italian

  1. 1Well done; excellent.
  2. 2Praise said in the moment, to the person who earned it.

Brava turns everyday work into continuous feedback.

Say brava while it's still fresh. Brava pulls real examples from the tools your team already uses and turns them into feedback with context, all year long.

  • Give it where you already work. Mention @Brava in Slack, save any message with a shortcut, or thank someone straight from a prompt.
  • Brava suggests what's worth saying. After a code review, a meeting or a launch, it drafts feedback for the people involved. You edit, send or skip.
  • Every piece lands on the record. Peer feedback, recognition and requested input build up all quarter, so reviews start from what people saw at the time.

Reviews become an output, not a project.

Because Brava builds the record all year, managers never rebuild performance from memory. Brava drafts the review in one click from what mattered most, and the manager makes it their own. Every sentence keeps its source.

Maya's Q3 activity

145 entries · by impact

Coach a little every week, instead of a lot once a year.

A yearly review is one big steering conversation, months after the drift started. Brava gives managers one small, specific nudge per report each week, drawn from that week's work. By review time, nothing in the review is news.

This week with Maya

Maya fixed the checkout incident for another team on Tuesday. Thank her for it, and ask her to write the fix into the runbook so the next on-call has it.

Draft to Maya · Brava's wording, edit before sending

Thanks for jumping on the checkout incident Tuesday. That saved payments a rough night. Could you write the fix into the runbook so the next on-call has it?

This week with Priya
Account Executive · Granola, Gmail

Her Northwind renewal call on Thursday stalled on price, and the follow-up email has no reply yet. Ask how she plans to reopen it, and what she needs from you.

Better for managers. Fairer for People teams.

For managers

Never write a review from a blank page again.

Brava keeps track of your team's work all quarter, so every review, 1:1 and piece of feedback starts with the evidence in hand. Your time goes on what to say, not on remembering what happened.

  • Review drafts built from your team's real work, ready for your own words
  • A weekly nudge so good work gets recognised while it's fresh
  • 1:1 agendas built from what happened since the last one
  • The evidence to back your people in calibration

For People teams

Run a stronger process with less chasing.

Give every manager a better starting point, and bring consistent evidence into reviews and calibration.

  • Every review backed by sources you can open
  • Ratings that disagree with the evidence flagged for calibration
  • One record behind reviews, calibration and 1:1s
  • Drafts in on time, without chasing every manager

Works with your stack. Secure by design.

  • SOC 2 Type II
  • Your data never trains models

What Brava reads, and never reads

Work activity in the channels, repos and tools you connect. Not DMs, not private channels, not personal email. Every source has a published read scope.

Who has access to what

People see their own record. Managers see their reports. Admins see the org. Calibration notes stay with the people in the room.

AI drafts, managers decide

No rating is final until a person sets it. Every claim in a draft links to its source, and claims without one are flagged, not hidden.

Read the trust page

Better management all year. Faster cycles. Better talent decisions.

Managers get stronger evidence and better tools to coach their teams, employees get more timely feedback, and HR gets a continuous performance system people actually use.
