Bonusly puts AI to work on your most powerful people tool—recognition.

Recognition isn’t just a feel-good moment—it's data. It surfaces who’s doing meaningful work, which behaviors align with your core values, and where team energy is highest. The problem many organizations face is that recognition is either too rare, too vague, or locked away in silos where it can’t inform managers or HR.

That’s where Bonusly’s new AI features change the game. Instead of letting recognition fade into the background, AI helps your people recognize better, more often, and in ways that visibly move your culture and performance forward.

AI First. Human Always.

We designed our AI features to be an amplifier of human connection—not a replacement. Bonusly’s new features keep what’s human about recognition (authenticity, relationship-building, context) while adding scale, clarity, and actionability. The result:

• Teams recognize better, faster, and more meaningfully.
• Managers coach and celebrate as the work unfolds, not after the fact.
• HR spots patterns, stories, and opportunities across the organization.
• Recognition data becomes a foundation for insight and strategy.
  
  

Core AI Features 

Gratitude Gauge

‍
In-product coaching guides employees to write recognition that’s specific, authentic, and values-aligned. Better language means recognition lands more meaningfully—and becomes useful example content for others.

Smarter 1:1s

‍Automatically transcribe 1:1s, surface recognition and feedback opportunities with AI, and prompt managers to follow up. This turns existing conversations into proactive, continuous coaching so praise and development don’t slip through the cracks.

Recognition Quality Score

‍AI evaluates each recognition post for richness—specificity, tone, and values alignment—so HR can instantly assess team health, showcase examples of what good looks like, and compare engagement quality across departments.

Manager Notifications

‍AI-driven insights delivered to where managers already work—Slack, Teams, and email—so they can recognize, reinforce, and coach in the moments that matter most. 

Feedback Generation

‍Converts managers’ raw notes or speech into clear, constructive feedback with examples, balanced language, and suggested next steps—helping managers deliver feedback that actually drives behavior change.

Four strategic outcomes

• Recognition as a performance tool: Use recognition to guide behavior, not just celebrate it.
  
• Every manager becomes a performance multiplier: Timely prompts and recaps remove guesswork from coaching.
  
• Culture-as-insight: Recognition data reveals alignment, engagement, and opportunities before they become problems.
  
• Scale what works: Identify standout examples and amplify them across the organization.
