What Buffer AI Assistant is
Buffer schedules and publishes across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Google Business, Mastodon and X, with an assistant that rewrites a single idea into platform-specific versions, an engagement inbox and approval steps for teams. Billing is per connected channel rather than per seat, with no volume discount published, so ten channels cost ten times one. The free plan covers three channels and ten queued posts on each.
