About the reviews
How long does a review take?
About 20 minutes for a self-review and about 10 for peer feedback. The admin can set each kind of review to short, standard or thorough. You can stop at any point, and Colombyx™ picks up where you left off.
What does the AI do, and what do people do?
Colombyx asks the questions, takes notes, writes the draft and suggests ratings with its reasons. People edit and approve every word, confirm every rating, and make every calibration decision.
Who can read my chat?
Only you. Your manager and the admin see the review you submit, never the conversation. The same goes for notes you upload.
Can my colleague see what I said about them?
No. They see an anonymous summary Colombyx writes, after their review is released. Their manager and the admin can see who said what.
What if I give a vague answer?
Colombyx asks a friendly follow-up, like a specific example or what the result was. It does this a set number of times per topic (twice by default), then moves on, so it never nags. If you're stuck, it offers a few ideas to get you going.
Can I add my own notes?
Yes. Upload a PDF, Word or text file, or paste text, and Colombyx uses it in the conversation and the draft. Only the text is kept, privately, and never the file.
Can we use our own competencies and rating scale?
Yes. The admin builds templates with their own competencies, guiding questions, rating scale, section weights and Colombyx's tone.
How is the overall score worked out?
It's calculated from the confirmed section ratings, using the template's weights. Nobody types it in, so it always matches the ratings.
Can I download the review?
Yes, as a PDF or a Word file. Admins can download every released review in a cycle at once.
About the technology
What AI does Dialogyx™ use?
Claude, from Anthropic. Colombyx is the name of the companion you talk to in Dialogyx.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. Anthropic doesn't use data sent through its API to train its models by default, and Dialogyx hasn't opted in to anything that would change that.
Where is our data stored?
In the US, on Google Cloud. Claude processes every request in the US too. Read more on the Trust page.
How do people sign in?
With a link sent to their email. There are no passwords.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in a phone's browser. It's designed for a computer first.
Does it connect to our HR system?
Not yet. People can be imported from a spreadsheet (CSV).
