How to use the Recognition Assistant

The Recognition Assistant is an AI tool intended to help anyone looking for some help with writing a personal and meaningful recognition message. Whether you’re short on time or feel the need for a touch of inspiration, or you’re simply not yet proficient in your organization’s default language, our Recognition Assistant can make giving recognition as easy and rewarding as it was always intended to be.

If the feature is enabled for your organization, a button that reads “Refine Message with AI” will appear below the message field when sending Recognition. Should this button not be visible, speak to your Kudos administrator about enabling this feature for your organization.

The button will be inactive until you have selected at least 1 recipient and provided an original message to be refined. Refer to the best practices below to make sure you provide the Recognition Assistant with all the information it needs to return the best possible version of your intended message. Clicking “Refine Message with AI” will prompt the Recognition Assistant to return a refined version of your original recognition message. You can then send the refined message as is, edit the wording, add emojis or a gif to personalize it further, or click “Restore original message” to revert back to the original message you provided.

You can repeat this process as many times as necessary until you are 100% satisfied with your recognition message. Please rest assured, your messages are not being stored or used to train the AI model in any way.

How to get the best results

When using text-generative AI, the quality of the input directly defines the quality of the output so details make all the difference. It’s also important to note that the Recognition Assistant’s role is to help create your recognition message; the suggested text should always be reviewed before sending.

Please see below some of our best practices to ensure you get the best results when using our recognition assistant: 

Include the Recipient’s Name: Including the name of the person you are recognizing ensures the utmost personalization and gives the Recognition Assistant clarity on the recipient’s identity so for best results, be sure to include their name in your original message. 

Provide Clear Input: Articulate as clearly as possible the specific achievement, behaviour, or action you want to recognize. The more precise your input, the better the Recognition Assistant can generate a tailored and relevant recognition message. 

Use Descriptive Language: Don’t hesitate to use descriptive language when explaining the accomplishment or behaviour. This helps the Recognition Assistant understand the context and generate a more nuanced and personalized message. 

Include Context and Impact: Provide additional context about why the recognized achievement is significant. Explain the impact it had on the team, project, or organization. This context enables the Recognition Assistant to craft a more detailed and meaningful message. 

Customize the Message: Take advantage of customization options to add a personal touch to the AI-generated message. Adjust the tone or wording, add emojis or a gif to match your own communication style and the preferences of the recipient. 

Edit and Refine: Don't hesitate to edit and refine the AI-generated message. While the Recognition Assistant can provide a great starting point, your personal touch and insights will enhance the overall quality of the recognition message.
