Ask Buzz and Hive check
Ask Buzz rewrites the post you're on, or only the words you select, and shows up to 3 versions beside your original.
Hive check scores from 0 to 100 how much a post sounds like your brand and offers up to 3 fixes, with 8 checks per post.
Nothing in your post changes until you press Apply, and Ask Buzz never counts toward your monthly limits.
Rewrite a post with Ask Buzz
1. Put the caret in the post you want reworked. In a thread, Ask Buzz works on one post at a time.
2. Press Ask Buzz at the start of the row under the composer.
3. Pick an action, or type what you want changed and press Enter.
4. Read the versions. Press ‹ and ›, or the arrow keys, to move between them.
5. Press Apply, or ⌘↵, to put the version in view into your post.
The words being rewritten stay marked in your post while you compare, so the original is always in view. Undo in the composer brings your text back until you type again. Run again, or R, asks for 3 new versions of your original, and the field under the buttons reworks the version in view with your own words. The count shows the post's length now and with that version, in red past the platform's limit.
Buzz rewrites in the voice of the Buzz's Hive profile and keeps the language the post is written in. On a platform that follows another platform's text, applying a version gives that platform its own text (A version per platform).

Fix spelling and grammar, Add a few emoji, Emoji as bullets and Give it room keep your words and change only what the action names, as does an instruction you type. A spelling fix often comes back as 1 version, since it has one right answer.
Rework only some words
1. Select the words in your post. A small Ask Buzz pill appears above them.
2. Pick an action or type an instruction. Only the marked words go to Buzz.
3. Press Apply. Only those words change, and Undo brings them back.
If the marked words change while Buzz works, Apply says so and replaces nothing. Rewriting for a platform works on the whole post, so it isn't in this menu.
Score a post with Hive check
Hive check sits beside the composer on the Buzz page. It compares the post with your Hive profile and the brand's own posts for that platform, starting with Posts that sound right from Sharpen the voice. It shows a score from 0 to 100, a short verdict, and up to 3 fixes.
1. Write your post. Once it has 30 characters, Hive check reads it by itself when you pause typing.
2. Read the fixes. Press Apply on one to make that change.
3. Press Undo in the composer to take a fix back.
The card says how many of the brand's posts it read. When you change the text, the old score goes quiet until the next check. The card also shows Best time today for the account in view (Posting slots and best times).
How many checks a post gets
Each post gets 8 Hive checks. The first 3 run by themselves when you pause typing. After that the card says how many are left, and you press Check again when you want one. A post under 30 characters is checked only when you press Check with Hive. After the 8th check the last score stays on the card, and a new Buzz gets 8 of its own.
Hive checks also count toward your organization's monthly allowance, which your plan sets. Plans and usage lists it. Ask Buzz has no monthly count.
Questions
Does Ask Buzz change my post right away?
No. It shows up to 3 versions beside your post, and nothing changes until you press Apply. Undo brings your old text back.
Why did Ask Buzz give me only 1 version?
Some actions have one right answer, like a spelling fix, so the same version isn't shown 3 times.
Which voice does Buzz write in?
The Hive profile of the Buzz: the set's own, unless you picked another under Hive profile for this Buzz.
Where to next
- The composerThe composer is where you write a Buzz: one post, or a thread on X and Threads, going to one or more of your accounts.
- A version per platformOne Buzz can carry its own text for each platform: type while LinkedIn is in view and LinkedIn gets its own version, while the other platforms keep the shared text.
- Sharpen the voiceSharpen the voice gives Buzz more to copy than the website: posts that sound right, words to avoid, calls to action, hashtags and posting languages.
- Hive profilesA Hive profile is everything Buzz knows about one brand: its voice, colours, fonts, products, audience and the posts that sound like it.
