My company is experimenting with using LLMs for yearly reviews and it works just like this. We feed in some bullet points of accomplishments and hope the LLM doesn’t fuck it up. Then the manager gets a condensed version down from the summaries.

Like why bother have the llm in the middle? Can’t I just send data?
