Why Community Builders are Switching from Buffer to PostSmithAI

How Community Builders Can Use PostSmithAI to Generate LinkedIn Posts and Comments

If you're a community builder, you're probably wearing a dozen different hats. From organizing events and moderating discussions to engaging your members online—your day is packed. One platform often at the heart of community growth is LinkedIn. But let's be honest, consistently creating authentic and engaging content for LinkedIn can feel like another full-time job.

That's where PostSmithAI steps in as your behind-the-scenes content partner. Designed to help creators and community leaders craft high-impact LinkedIn posts and comments, it offers something Buffer (and other scheduling tools) doesn't: smart copywriting tailored to humans.

Why PostSmithAI Is a Game Changer for Community Builders

Let the Ideas Flow—Even on Your Busiest Days

PostSmithAI makes it easy to turn your community insights, event takeaways, and member success stories into share-worthy LinkedIn content. When you're juggling conversations and feedback loops, the last thing you want is content block. Instead of starting from scratch, PostSmithAI suggests post ideas—and can even complete half the job for you.

"LinkedIn posts from community builders see up to 3x more engagement when they include strong insights or member highlights."

  • Input the post you’re reacting to
  • Choose your tone (supportive, expert, curious, etc.)
  • Copy and paste your AI-suggested response or tweak it further
