What is Buffer?

Buffer is a social media management platform that helps teams and individuals plan, publish, and analyse content across multiple channels. The platform now includes an AI Assistant that generates post ideas, repurposes existing content for different platforms, and provides performance insights. You can write posts directly in Buffer or use the AI to help draft content, then schedule publication across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other supported networks. The tool is particularly useful if you manage multiple social accounts and want to maintain a consistent posting schedule without logging into each platform separately.
