🎉 New
When I first starting the move from a big 'ol Google Doc to the more structured format of Clonra, I knew I wanted to be able to use that structure to automate some of the process of writing self reviews, and it would like involve leveraging an LLM. So as of today, users of Clonra can tap into that with the Summaries feature!
With Summaries, you can now have Clonra use your log entries to generate three types of summary:
With Summaries, you can now have Clonra use your log entries to generate three types of summary:
- Self Review: Give a date range and we'll look through your logs, identifying the big things you've achieved and areas for growth, linking directly to relevant logs and other data points you've shared.
- What you've been up to: In this report, we focus less on a performance format and more on something you can share with colleagues to catch them up on what you've been working on. Great for end of week updates, or team meetings.
- Tell me about a time...: A perennial interview question is "tell me about a time you had to meet a tight deadline or manage priorities", and now you can let Clonra figure that out for your next interview. This isn't about a canned answer that anyone could ramble off, it's about actual scenarios you've been involved in, and how you handled them, formatted as a STAR response, which is a great way to show off your expertise
✨ Improved
- The logs feed needed a bit of a spit and polish, so we've cleaned it up to be easier to parse.
- You can now include markdown tables in your logs
✅ Fixed
Lots of small little things you hopefully never even noticed :)
