The best 1:1s happen when managers stop taking notes and start really listening. But in practice, that's hard. Managers juggle agendas, scribble follow-ups, try to remember what their report said three weeks ago, and then, when review season hits, stitch it all back together from scattered docs and fading memory.

That's why we're excited to introduce the Lattice AI Agent to 1:1s, announced at Lattiverse ‘26 and now available to all Lattice customers at no additional cost. 

Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s is a new AI-powered experience built directly into Lattice 1:1s and available for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, with support for Google Calendar and Outlook. The Agent can now capture every element of the conversation and turn these into structured notes, action items, agenda suggestions, and coaching insights. Plus, with optional transcripts, nothing ever gets lost. 

The best part? All of it lives inside Lattice, alongside the goals, feedback, reviews, and other performance workflows you already manage there.

In other words, it doesn't just take notes. It turns every conversation into a growth opportunity for managers, ICs, and HR leaders. 

"Thanks to the Lattice AI Agent, our employees walk away feeling more heard, with clearer next steps and a real sense of ownership over their own development. Better 1:1s show up directly in how engaged people feel, and we've certainly seen that shift." — Jennifer Rhode, Director, Global People Operations @ Loftware

More Than a Notetaker: A System of Record for 1:1s

The AI notetaker space is crowded. But most tools were built for sales calls or generic meetings. They hand you a transcript, maybe a summary, and stop there. The context doesn't flow anywhere useful, and the burden of turning a meeting into follow-through still lands on the manager.

The Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s is built specifically for the manager-employee relationship, and it lives where that relationship already takes place. After every 1:1, it automatically generates:

• A clear meeting summary, organized by the topics you actually discussed
• Action items with owners, so commitments don't get lost between meetings
• A suggested agenda for the next 1:1, carrying forward unresolved items and recurring themes
• Coaching insights for both participants, surfacing strengths, growth areas, and patterns in how the relationship is working
• A meeting transcript, so documentation is always at your fingertips

Everything embeds directly on the Lattice 1:1 page. No separate tool. No separate login. No separate place where the context quietly disappears. 

"There are so many AI tools out there capturing different meetings, but this is why Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s matters: documentation, alignment, and making sure the employee and manager get the same summary." — Emer O'Driscoll, People Business Partner @ Teamwork

AI Coaching for Every Employee, Not Just Executives

Coaching has long been unevenly distributed. Senior leaders get executive coaches and formal training. Frontline managers and individual contributors are told to "learn on the rep."

Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s helps close that gap. 

After each 1:1, both the manager and the employee receive contextual coaching insights drawn from the actual conversation: how they listened, what got missed, and which dynamics could be strengthened. 

It's a small, useful reflection delivered at the moment it can actually change behavior. As one customer put it: 

"As someone who's trying to coach managers, the Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s coaching insights are a game-changer. Because our managers are doing so much more than just managing, the time they can devote to sharpening their management skills is very finite. Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s gives them support right when they need it." — Veronica Lamaak, People Ops, TurnCommerce

The Foundation for Better Reviews and Stronger Growth

Because the Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s sits alongside your other performance insights, the data it captures doesn't end with the meeting. Summaries, action items, and themes become a richer record of the year; context managers can draw on when writing reviews, calibrating talent, supporting growth conversations, or backing up a tough performance decision.

The Lattice AI Agent can automatically surface insights from those meetings through Evidence-based Review Drafts, a new Agent functionality now available in Reviews, and also included to all Lattice Performance customers at no additional cost. 

This is the part no standalone notetaker can do. Our AI Agent isn't a meeting tool bolted onto HR. It's the people intelligence layer that’s part of everyday Lattice workflows."Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s is not just making reviews easier for managers. It's going to raise the quality of what they're putting in those reviews, making them more actionable and collaborative." — Veronica Lamaak, People Ops, TurnCommerce

Built With Trust at the Center

1:1s are sensitive spaces. We designed this new Lattice AI Agent functionality with that in mind..

 Participants can see when the Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s joins the meeting; hosts can remove it at any time; and meeting content is visible only to participants with permissions, with retention controls and transcript deletion safeguards built in. 

The goal is simple: better conversations, without compromising the trust those conversations depend on.

Available Today for All Lattice Customers 

Lattice AI Agent in 1:1s is generally available now, and it's included for all Lattice customers at no additional cost. We believe AI-powered coaching and follow-through shouldn't be reserved for the largest teams or the highest tiers; every manager and every employee deserves it. Log in to Lattice to turn it on.
