What is Small Improvements?

Small Improvements is a Berlin-based performance management platform for growing companies of 50 to 750 staff, covering reviews, goals, 1:1s and feedback, with AI that turns feedback into goal suggestions and flags training needs.

Small Improvements, founded in 2011 and based in Berlin with remote staff in the UK and US, builds performance management software for midsize, growing organizations rather than large enterprises, spanning reviews, objectives, 1:1 meetings, 360-degree feedback, pulse surveys and peer praise. The vendor targets companies with roughly 50 to 750 staff and prices the product per user across three published tiers with a 30-day free trial.

Small Improvements AI features and use cases

  • Turns feedback into goal suggestionsThe Objectives Assistant reads the 360 and anytime feedback a person has received, finds recurring themes and proposes objectives that respond to them. Employees and managers get an editable draft goal to discuss instead of translating vague feedback into a concrete goal alone.
  • Polishes feedback before it is sentA writing assistant rewrites draft feedback to be more tactful and actionable without changing the core message, catching harsh or vague phrasing before it reaches the recipient. This raises the baseline quality of feedback across managers with very different writing styles.
  • Flags training needs from review cycle patternsAI reads across a whole review cycle to surface organization-wide themes, including patterns like inappropriate language or gender imbalance in feedback text. HR gets an early signal for training or policy fixes instead of noticing the pattern only after several cycles.
  • Lets external AI tools query review dataAn MCP server lets connected AI clients such as Claude or ChatGPT load Small Improvements data alongside other company data sources. An HR analyst can ask a connected AI assistant a question that draws on review data directly instead of exporting it first.

What sets Small Improvements apart

  • Explicitly targets growing companies of roughly 50 to 750 staff rather than large enterprises.
  • Publishes per-user pricing from $3/month with a 30-day free trial, unlike quote-only competitors.
  • Headquartered in Berlin with a German entity, alongside remote presence in the UK and US.
  • Offers an MCP server so external AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT can query review data directly.
