Why choose Social Media Feather?

- Works with posts, pages, and custom post types
- Optional AI assistant share buttons for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity

Sharing Features
Allow visitors to share your content on:
- Twitter / X
- Tumblr
Or ask an AI assistant about your content:
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Copilot
- Gemini
- Grok
- Perplexity
AI Assistant Sharing
The AI assistant buttons hand the visitor a prompt asking for a summary of the page, along with the post title and URL.
ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Perplexity open a new chat with the prompt already filled in. Copilot and Gemini accept no prompt in a URL, so their buttons copy the prompt to the clipboard and open a blank chat for the visitor to paste into.
All six are off by default. To turn one on, go to Settings > Social Media > Service Providers and set that provider’s Service option to Share.
Follow Features
Display links to your social profiles:
- Twitter / X
- YouTube
- Tumblr
- Flickr
- Foursquare
- Vimeo
- RSS
