How to Get the Most from Uploading Your Context to Blomma
Most AI tools give generic advice because they don’t know anything specific about you. Blomma’s My Resources feature changes that. By uploading your own documents — a performance review, a piece of feedback, your job description, a role you’re considering — you give the coaching real material to work from. The quality of what you get out of coaching is directly related to the quality of context you put in.
Key takeaways
Generic coaching gives generic advice. Specific context gives specific, actionable guidance.
My Resources is designed for the documents that define your current career situation.
The most useful uploads are performance reviews, manager feedback, job descriptions, and notes from important conversations.
Uploading context before a coaching session on a specific topic produces significantly better guidance.
Your uploaded context is yours — it stays in your account and grows more useful over time.

What My Resources is for
My Resources exists because the most useful coaching is grounded in your real situation — not a description of it, but the actual document. When you’re preparing for a performance conversation, the coaching that uses your actual review is more specific than coaching that works from your summary of it. When you’re preparing for a job interview, the coaching that’s working from the real job description is more targeted than coaching about interviewing in general.
The feature is also about ownership. Your career documents — your reviews, your feedback, your history — belong to you, and My Resources keeps them in your coaching context across every session.
What to upload and when
Performance reviews: Upload these after every review cycle. They’re one of the richest sources of coaching-ready material — containing feedback, development observations, and evidence about where you are relative to where you want to be.
Manager feedback: Specific feedback from 1:1s, project debriefs, or informal comments is useful coaching context. Upload it when it’s fresh, especially if it’s something significant you want to work through.
Job descriptions: Upload the description of your current role (to ground development planning) and any roles you’re considering, targeting, or comparing yourself against. The gap between your current role and a desired role is often where the most useful development goals live.
Role notes and development plans: Any documents that contain your own thinking about your career — notes from conversations, development plans, self-assessments — are useful uploads that help Blomma’s coaching reference your actual intentions.
How to use uploaded context in coaching sessions
The most effective way to use My Resources is to upload the relevant document before a coaching session focused on that topic. If you’re preparing for a review conversation, upload the review first. If you’re working on a development plan, upload your current job description. Then reference it explicitly in the coaching: “Based on the review I uploaded, I want to work on X.”
That explicit connection between the document and the coaching question produces much more specific guidance than a general question would.
Building your context library over time
Over time, the documents you’ve uploaded form a career context library that makes every coaching session more specific. The coaching can reference your history, your patterns, your actual feedback rather than building from scratch each time.
This is one of the reasons Blomma becomes more useful with sustained use rather than less — the context library grows richer, and the coaching becomes correspondingly more grounded.
For how to pair uploaded context with goal setting, how an AI career coach helps you set and reach career goals is a natural complement. For using My Resources specifically during performance review prep, how to prepare for a performance review gives the full workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are most useful to upload to My Resources?
Performance reviews, direct manager feedback, your current job description, role descriptions you’re targeting, and personal career planning notes. These give the coaching the most specific and actionable material to work from.
Is it safe to upload sensitive documents to Blomma?
Blomma is an individual-direct product — your uploaded documents are in your account, not an employer or organizational account. Reviewing Blomma’s current privacy policy for data handling specifics is always a reasonable step before uploading sensitive material.
How often should I update My Resources?
After each significant career moment: a review cycle, a new role, significant feedback, or a change in direction. Keeping the context current means the coaching stays grounded in where you actually are rather than where you were six months ago.
Can I delete documents from My Resources?
Yes. Your context library is yours to manage, update, and remove as your situation changes.
Does Blomma use my uploaded documents in ways beyond my coaching?
For specific data handling, Blomma’s current privacy policy is the authoritative source. The feature is designed around giving you more specific coaching, not data collection.
The upgrade from generic to specific coaching is one of the most practical things you can do to improve the value you get from Blomma. My Resources makes it straightforward.
