The Metaproducts leader said employees are increasingly relying on in-house AI assistants to evaluate performance.
Joseph Spisak, product director at Meta Superintelligence Labs, said Metamate, the company’s internal ChatGPT-style tool, can search employee documents and generate summaries of their results.
“When I perform at the end of the year and I want to summarize my performance and stuff, I call Metamate and Metamate searches all my documents and what I’ve done and summarizes what I did that year and my accomplishments and feedback to me,” Spisak said on stage Friday at the TechEquity AI Summit in Sunnyvale, California. “And that’s great.”
After the host asked if they could bribe the system to boost their ratings, Spisak joked that employees could “reward hacks.”
Spisak said that in addition to helping evaluate employee performance, Meta’s AI tools are trained on internal data and are used for other tasks, such as building applications.
Meta, like most Silicon Valley tech companies, is increasingly integrating AI into its internal operations, from its AI coding assistant Devmate to games and dashboards that track employee AI usage.
A Meta employee, who requested anonymity, told Business Insider that some staff have tried Metamate for performance reviews, but the results have been mixed, and that the AI often struggles without detailed context around individual projects. Still, this person said they use the tool to generate feedback to colleagues by setting up templates and filling out examples.
