July 2026 Product Updates: Lattice MCP, Evidence-based Review Drafts Powered by the Lattice Agent, and More

Summer is heating up, and so is our product innovation. This July we shipped two of our biggest AI milestones yet: Evidence-based Review Drafts, which turns your existing Lattice data into complete, cited review drafts in minutes, and Lattice MCP, which brings Lattice into the AI tools your team already uses every day. 

We also released updates to Compensation and Reviews workflows to make day-to-day processes faster. Let's dive in!

Use Lattice from Where You Already Work

Performance doesn't happen just in performance management software. It happens in 1:1s, in feedback, in project docs, and increasingly in the AI tools you open before your email. Too often, though, the context that helps people grow is trapped across tools and managers are left hunting through tabs, trying to reconstruct the story of someone's work from memory.

That’s why we released Lattice MCP last month. Now available to all US customers (EU data residency support coming this fall), Lattice MCP is published in the Claude, OpenAI, and Slack marketplaces, making Lattice the first performance management platform to officially launch an MCP in Frontier AI marketplaces.

With it, employees and managers can pull in Lattice goals, feedback, 1:1s, updates, and prior reviews, combine that context with data from tools like Salesforce, Notion, and Jira, and draft, refine, and submit performance reviews without leaving the conversation. 

Draft Reviews from Real Evidence with the Lattice Agent

Review season is one of the most dreaded moments in the HR calendar. Managers and employees open a blank form and spend the next hour hunting through months of scattered 1:1 notes, old feedback threads, and goal trackers, hoping to reconstruct a picture of performance from memory. The result: reviews that over-index on the last few weeks and undersell the real work.

A new capability of the Lattice AI Agent, Evidence-based Review drafts turns months of performance signals already in Lattice, like 1:1s, feedback, goals, updates, growth areas, and prior reviews, into complete drafts, grounded in real evidence, right inside the review form. Early customers completed reviews 47% faster, on average, starting from a draft rather than a blank page.

Close the Loop on Compensation Cycles

A few updates this month make Compensation cycles more streamlined. 

• Reopen Compensation Recommendations: Approvers can now send unapproved recommendations back to an earlier recommender for revision with a note explaining what needs to change. Recommenders are notified by email, can update their work, and resubmit it all in Lattice. 
• Import Approved Promotions from a Linked Review Cycle: Comp admins can now pull approved promotion nominations directly from a completed review cycle into a compensation cycle. 
• Comp Statement Shareout Improvements: Statement sharers can now view equity awards planned by admins and admins can hide job level changes from statements for promoted employees.
• Compensation CSV Export Improvements: Exports now include custom employee fields and external HRIS employee IDs (if available). 

Share and Schedule Analytics Reports at Scale

Distributing analytics data used to mean downloading CSVs or sharing reports with managers one by one. With our new enhancements, Admins can now share or schedule any saved Analytics Chart or Custom Report, to individuals, Lattice groups, or via a shareable link, from a single experience. 

Reports can be scheduled on a recurring cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly) and delivered via a secure email link. Group sharing is dynamic so the recipient list updates automatically as membership changes.

Reduce Manual Setup Across Reviews and Surveys

A few more updates this month cut down on repetitive admin work across reviews and engagement surveys. 

• Optimized PDF Review Packets: Review packets can run long and every extra page can mean more scrolling for managers and HR. The new Optimized format uses tighter typography and layouts to significantly cut page count. Choose "Optimized" or "Standard" at download time for both single and bulk exports.
• Bulk Create Project Review Cycles via CSV: Upload a CSV to bulk-create every project review cycle at once, each row becomes its own cycle built from a single shared template. 
• Unexpire Onboarding and Exit Surveys: Reopen an expired onboarding or exit survey for any respondent in a couple of clicks.
