Watch months of feedback
become a review in minutes

Give every employee a world class manager

Once a week, employees complete a 15-minute check-in with PULSE, their personalized AI manager—a natural conversation engineered to help clarify priorities, surface blockers, and reflect on progress.

Real feedback, automatically captured

Zinc joins 1:1s and captures the feedback that naturally comes up. Every employee gets a rich, running history of performance highlights without writing a thing.

Prevent performance review surprises

The easiest review you'll ever write generate

Zinc pulls themes from PULSE check-ins and 1:1s, to auto-generate employee reviews. Each theme is backed by real evidence, not vague recollections.
