Writes in each person's voice
Drafts for the company page, founders, executives and employees from each person's best posts. Imagine AI started as the operating system for ghostwriting teams, so sounding like you is the core of the product.
The verdict
Buffer is a multi-network scheduler. Imagine AI is a GTM agent for your whole team.
Buffer fits anyone posting the same calendar to many networks on a small budget. Imagine AI fits high-growth and mid-market B2B companies that want the company page, leaders and team posting and engaging on LinkedIn, tied to pipeline.

Buffer vs Imagine AI, in five differences
Each one ends with the line that matters.
[01]
A scheduler versus an agent that writes and engages
Buffer queues posts you write across LinkedIn, Instagram, X, TikTok, Threads and more. Imagine AI starts with LinkedIn: the agent researches and drafts the post and graphic, schedules it, and comments, connects and messages for you.
Buffer publishes your posts. Imagine AI creates them and works the engagement.
[02]
Built from your strategy, with graphics
Imagine AI's agent reads a content filesystem before it drafts: positioning, brand kit, decks, past posts and campaigns. It can draft the graphic with each post from your brand kit, or use a photo you add.
Drafts that need small edits, not rewrites.
[03]
Content and engagement from one agent
The same agent comments, sends connection requests and messages on LinkedIn, aimed at the engagers who match your ICP, and every week it hands sales a list of those engagers.
One agent for content and outreach.
[04]
Pipeline, not just analytics
Imagine AI matches engagers against HubSpot or Salesforce and traces each closed deal back to its first content touch: post, person, deal stage moves. The data is available over an API.
Measured in deals.
