Why Product Managers are Switching from Buffer to PostSmithAI

How Product Managers Use PostSmithAI to Own LinkedIn — and Why It Beats Buffer

Imagine this: you're a seasoned Product Manager juggling roadmap planning, user interviews, stand-ups, and sprint retros — and someone says, "You should really post more on LinkedIn." While they’re not wrong, who has the time?

That’s where PostSmithAI changes the game. Unlike traditional tools like Buffer that simply schedule posts, PostSmithAI actually helps you write them. It’s not just automation — it’s intelligent amplification.

PostSmithAI vs. Buffer: A New League of Productivity

Both PostSmithAI and Buffer help organize content. But they live in completely different orbits when it comes to value for busy PMs.

What Buffer Does (and Doesn't Do)

  • Buffer helps schedule content to go live later — that’s it.
  • It offers calendar views and performance metrics (after the fact).
  • But you still have to write the content yourself.

What PostSmithAI Adds

  • AI-generated post ideas tailored to your niche and goals.
  • Assisted rewriting to improve clarity and tone-of-voice.
  • Comment generation to fuel real conversations—not generic likes.
  • Guided prompts that help surface impactful stories hidden in your day-to-day work.
