Canero

How It Works

A continuous feedback loop for organizational improvement

Canero replaces the periodic survey cycle with a living dialogue between employees and the organization - privacy-first and always on.

The Feedback Loop

Six stages that complete and repeat - each cycle producing richer organizational intelligence than the last.

Each stage, explained

From the first prompt to the next cycle's topics, every step is designed to surface honest intelligence.

01

Conversation Starters

Leaders set the context - scheduled intervals, ad-hoc topics, or event-triggered prompts when something notable happens. Employees receive a gentle nudge to share.

  • Configurable intervals (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
  • Topic-specific prompts for focused conversations
  • Event-driven starters tied to announcements

Employee Conversations

Employees engage through a natural, AI-guided dialogue - not a rigid form. The AI asks follow-up questions to surface nuance and ensure depth without pressure.

  • Natural conversational format, not checkbox surveys
  • Intelligent follow-up based on what employees say
  • Delete before submit - full control until close

  • Automatic theme and sentiment detection
  • Team and topic categorization
  • Privacy-first - screening before every report

  • AI-generated based on report findings
  • Linked to source reports for transparency
  • Actionable: create topics, announcements, or plans
