AI Draft for Consensus Reviewers: A Sourced Starting Point Inside Every Evaluation Form

Flo is proud to keep the updates coming, and this one has been a long time in the making. We're launching AI Draft, the first AI-assisted writing feature in Flo Performance Management, and it tackles one of the most demanding parts of any review cycle: writing consensus evaluations that actually synthesize the full picture of an attorney's performance.

The challenge

Writing a consensus evaluation requires synthesizing feedback from multiple reviewers alongside the attorney's own self-evaluation into a single, coherent written assessment. In practice, that often meant consensus reviewers were exporting evaluation data, pulling it into a separate document, and drafting responses outside the platform before returning to Flo to type in the final version. Beyond the extra steps, that workflow moved sensitive evaluation data out of the system and into personal drives or email threads.

What we launched

AI Draft is now available to consensus reviewers completing a consensus review stage form in Flo Performance Management. For every open-ended text question, an "AI Draft" button appears in the question toolbar. Clicking it opens a panel anchored to that question, showing a drafted response synthesized from the self-evaluations and reviewer evaluations already submitted for that attorney.

The panel includes:

• A synthesized draft response for that specific question
• A header showing how many reviewer evaluations and self-evaluations were used (for example, "AI suggestions based on 4 Reviewers + 1 Self Evaluation")
• Numbered source chips that expand to show the specific quote and the form it came from
• A "Use Response" button that inserts the draft into the question field only when the reviewer chooses to apply it
• A thumbs up or thumbs down rating, with an option to explain any feedback for Flo's internal team

AI Draft is off by default. Admins enable it at the organization level through the AI Features master toggle in Settings. Once on, admins can also control which evaluation types the feature draws from: self-evaluations, reviewer evaluations, or both. At least one source type must remain active. If no evaluations have been submitted yet for a reviewee, the AI Draft button is disabled with an explanatory message until at least one evaluation comes in.

AI Draft appears exclusively on consensus review forms. All existing visibility settings for the consensus stage are respected; the draft will never surface data a reviewer is not already permitted to see, and all data stays within the firm's records with no cross-firm exposure.

Why it matters

The most effective use of AI Draft is treating the output as a first draft to edit, not a final answer to accept. The source count shown in the panel header gives reviewers a quick signal for how much input the draft reflects; a draft built on six reviewer evaluations will generally be more comprehensive than one built on a single response. Consensus reviewers can spend their time refining and adding nuance rather than re-reading and manually summarizing every individual evaluation from scratch.

Because the draft is generated inside Flo from data already in Flo, the workflow stays contained. There is no need to export, no external document, and no re-entry step. Admins also retain full control over rollout: the opt-in default means firms can enable the feature on their own timeline, and they can adjust source controls to fit their data governance preferences.

AI Draft is Flo's first step into AI-assisted writing for Performance Management, and we're building it deliberately, starting where the time investment is highest and the sourcing requirements are clearest. Tell us how consensus reviewers at your firm are using it and what you'd like to see next.
