Is there a free PIP generator?

Performle's performance improvement plan generator is included in every paid plan, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — so you can draft a real PIP from your own captured record before you pay. There's no separate charge; it's part of the same writer that drafts performance reviews.

How do you write an HR-safe performance improvement plan?

Ground it in the documented record, keep it to performance and behavior only, and review it with HR before acting. Performle drafts the PIP from 1:1 notes you already captured and approved, frames the gaps against specific evidence, and treats the output as decision-support — you edit it and HR reviews it before anything is shared or actioned.

Can AI generate a performance improvement plan from my notes?

Yes. You pick a person and the generator drafts a PIP from the wins, commitments, and 1:1 topics you captured through the period, and the Candid Verdict adds an evidence-based recommendation. It produces a structured plan grounded in the real record — which you then review, edit, and run past HR. Nothing is auto-applied.

Performance improvement plan generator

Create an HR-safe, evidence-based PIP from the record you already captured — grounded in the documented 1:1 history, not in a stressful blank template the night before the conversation.

A performance improvement plan is one of the highest-stakes documents a manager writes. Done badly — vague, backfilled from memory, or skewed toward last month — it's unfair to the person and exposes the organization. Done well, it's specific, grounded in the documented record, and focused squarely on performance and behavior. Performle's PIP generator is built for the second kind. It drafts the plan from evidence you captured over time, so the gaps it names are the ones you can point to, and it treats the output as a starting point you and HR review — never the decision itself.

It builds from the record you already captured

Through the period, after each 1:1, you capture a short note and Performle proposes the wins, the dated commitments, the goals, and the topics raised — and you approve what's real. That same captured history is what the PIP generator draws on. Pick a person, choose the review writer's "PIP" type, and it drafts a structured plan: where expectations weren't met, what specifically the record shows, and what measurable improvement looks like over a defined window — all traced back to documented evidence rather than a general impression.

Alongside it, the Candid Verdict gives an evidence-based recommendation drawn from the same record. Together they produce a performance-improvement plan that's grounded in the documented history — the difference between "things haven't been working out" and a plan that cites the commitments missed and the conversations already had.

Why the documented record matters

The strongest PIP is one where nothing in it is a surprise. If a concern was raised in a 1:1 in March, captured, and approved, then naming it in a plan in September is fair and defensible. If it only exists in your memory, it isn't. Drafting from the captured record means the plan reflects a pattern you can show — dated, specific, and consistent with what the person has already heard — instead of a case assembled under deadline pressure. That's also what removes recency bias: the plan rests on the whole period, not the latest incident.

HR-safe by design. A PIP from Performle is decision-support, not the decision. Keep it to performance and behavior only — never protected-class reasoning. Document the basis in the record, and review the plan with HR before you act on it. The generator helps you assemble a fair, evidence-grounded draft; the judgment, the conversation, and the sign-off remain yours and your organization's.

You stay the author

Nothing is auto-applied. The generated PIP is editable and exportable — adjust the framing, the milestones, and the timeline; add context only you have; remove anything that doesn't belong. You review it, HR reviews it, and only then does it become a document you act on. The AI handles assembling the evidence into a clear first draft; the responsibility and the decision stay with you.

How it works

01 · Capture

Document the 1:1s

Capture short 1:1 notes through the period. AI proposes the wins, commitments, and concerns — you approve what's real.

02 · Draft

AI drafts the PIP

Pick a person and the "PIP" type; the generator builds an evidence-based plan, and the Candid Verdict adds a recommendation.

03 · Review with HR

Edit, then sign off

Edit every word, run it past HR, and finalize. Decision-support — nothing is auto-applied or actioned for you.

A fair improvement plan never contains a surprise. If it needed saying, it was said — and captured — long before it reached the page.

Draft an evidence-based PIP from your record

Build a performance improvement plan grounded in the 1:1 history you already captured — HR-safe, specific, and yours to edit. The PIP writer is included in every plan, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
