Hey Alle, thanks for the fair and valuable review! Where you've shared we fall short on Instagram are very reasonable critiques. We'll get to work on those!
A couple of things to mention:
- There's no catch! At least that's not how we operate, we're really trying to provide a lot of value and have a long-term journey with customers.
- Analytics are currently in a little bit of an in-between. We have our new Insights in beta, available to enable for anyone at all by going to Account β Beta Features. Insights will eventually fully replace Analyze, and is already more powerful in a number of ways. We'll also include a portion of analytics on the free plan going forward. This is why the current experience (Analyze, in a new tab) feels a bit awkward. I can assure you the Insights experience will be significantly better than Analyze within a few months, and we'll drop that new tab experience.
- We're adding more AI-enhancements to the product over time, but our large recent focus was on launching our API, which comes with MCP (and CLI). So you can now connect Buffer directly with ChatGPT or Claude and brainstorm with your AI chat, and once you have a post you can push it directly to your Queue or Ideas. More details here: buffer.com/api.
And by the way, let me know if you have any questions for me, happy to answer.

Visual hook. Text hook. Audio hook.
In short-form video, all three run at once. Most people only obsess over the spoken one.

The counterintuitive one most people miss -- don't get too specific, too early.
β "3 Pinterest tips for wedding photographers"
β
"If you're using Pinterest to get clients, do this"
Lead with the broader pain point. Filter for relevance in the payoff.
You'll keep more people who would've scrolled past the niche-y opener.

Commentary is one of the most important pillars of X. And sometimes the best way to share your thoughts is with video.
Today we're launching a whole new way to make them:
React with Video
Tap the repost button and start recording with green screen, split screen, or picture-in-picture.
Now available on iOS

You can run most of your social media from a chat window now.
Buffer's MCP connects your account straight to Claude (or ChatGPT, or whatever agent you use).
Schedule, write, edit, and save posts just by chatting. No more cut-and-pasting between apps.
Here's what that looks like day to day:
β checking what's on your schedule
β drafting LinkedIn posts from a few bullets
β rewriting them for X
β editing posts in your queue
β saving raw ideas for later

14 years ago, I built a small WordPress plugin that auto-posted blog content to social media using @buffer.
It's running on tens of thousands of WordPress sites, and today it became one of the first integrations to launch on Buffer's brand new API.
WordPress to Buffer and WordPress to Buffer Pro v6 is out:
β Faster, more reliable publishing
β A clearer Status Type dropdown (Text, Link, Image, Story, Pin, Google) replacing the old cryptic image settings
β Foundations laid for the next wave of Buffer features
If you publish content on WordPress and use Buffer to schedule it across social networks, this release is for you.

Buffer API is officially live! π
Big day for builders and developers - the public @buffer API is now available, opening the door to automated workflows, custom integrations, and third-party apps built on top of Buffer.
Iβve been tinkering with the API for a while now, and I am excited about the endless possibilities. From smarter content operations to fully automated workflows, this feels like the start of a whole new ecosystem around Buffer.
Excited to see what the developer community builds next π
