Social Media Accounts

Buffer, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Buffer account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Buffer is

Buffer is a social media management platform for planning, creating, scheduling, and publishing content across connected channels.

You sign in with your own Buffer account, the same way you already do. We never see or hold your password.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Buffer.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Buffer. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Buffer account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

11 tools it already has

What it can do in Buffer

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Buffer. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Create IdeaCreate a persistent content idea in a Buffer organization. Buffer's public API provides no operation to update or delete an idea after creation, so this action cannot be undone thr
  • Create Post DraftCreate an internal text-post draft for exactly one Buffer channel. This action always saves a draft and does not queue, schedule, or publish it.
  • Delete PostPermanently delete a Buffer post by ID, including a draft created for cleanup. This operation cannot be undone.
  • Delete Post TemplateDelete a writable private Buffer template, or an internal template when the connected user is an organization admin or owner. This operation cannot be undone.
  • Get Account ContextReturn the connected Buffer account, its organizations, and the accessible social channels in each organization so an agent can discover the IDs required by other tools.
  • List Idea GroupsList the idea workflow groups in a Buffer organization so an agent can discover group IDs for filtering or idea creation.
  • List IdeasList content ideas in a Buffer organization, optionally filtering by explicit idea groups or grouped versus ungrouped workflow membership.
  • List Post TemplatesList Buffer public templates and templates visible to the connected user in an organization, optionally filtered by visibility.
  • List PostsList and filter posts in a Buffer organization without requesting OAuth-inaccessible analytics fields.
  • Publish PostsQueue, schedule, or immediately publish the same text post to one to 10 Buffer channels. The 10-channel cap bounds external side effects and provider requests in one invocation. Ca
  • Save Post TemplateCreate a private or internal Buffer post template, or update an existing writable template when templateid is supplied.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Buffer account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Buffer account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Buffer is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.

It works in Buffer and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Buffer

Can an AI employee really work inside Buffer?
Yes. It signs in to your own Buffer account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Buffer?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Buffer, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Buffer account?
You sign in with your own Buffer account, the same way you already do. We never see or hold your password. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Buffer?
It has 11 ready-made tools in Buffer today, among them Create Idea, Create Post Draft and Delete Post. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Buffer and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Buffer and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Buffer?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Buffer is written down with what it did and when.
