What is Nami?
Nami is a Slack-native performance management platform. Instead of switching between apps or filling out clunky forms, your entire review workflow happens right inside Slack — a friendly AI assistant guides employees, managers, and admins through performance cycles, feedback, goals, and more.
Your Dashboard at a Glance
After signing in, you land on the Overview dashboard. This is your personal command center showing:
- Pending reviews that need your attention
- Recent kudos you have received or sent
- Active goals and their current progress
- Upcoming deadlines for any open review cycles
Everything is updated in real time, so you always know what needs action next.
How Nami Works
Nami is the AI assistant that lives in your Slack DMs. When a review cycle starts or feedback is requested, Nami sends you a direct message. The flow is simple:
- You receive a DM from Nami with context about the task.
- Click "Let's go" to begin.
- Answer each question one at a time directly in the chat.
- When you finish the last question, Nami confirms and submits your responses.
There is no time limit on individual questions. You can answer at your own pace throughout the day.
Tip
If you are in the middle of something, click "Remind me later" and Nami will follow up at a better time. Your progress is saved automatically.
