About Riff
Riff is a free Chrome extension that drafts replies, comments, direct-message answers and original posts for X, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. It lives in Chrome's side panel (opened from the toolbar or with Alt+Shift+R) and follows whichever post, chat or post box you are on. You give it a rough point, set dials for tone, length, how hard to pitch and how adventurous the wording should be, and it writes a version sized to that site's limits.
Best for
- Writing quick replies and comments on social posts
- Answering LinkedIn
- Messenger and Instagram DMs
- Drafting posts and X threads from rough notes
- Engaging on LinkedIn and X: Draft quick, relevant replies to posts in your niche from a rough point.
- Answering inbound DMs: Reply to LinkedIn, Messenger and Instagram messages without writing each one from scratch.
- Posting from rough notes: Turn a few notes into a LinkedIn post or X thread with a chosen hook.
- Cross-posting: Repurpose one draft as an X thread or Instagram caption.
Not ideal for
- Users on browsers other than Chrome
- Mobile-only workflows
- People who want hands-off auto-posting or scheduling

Frequently asked questions
Does Riff post for me?
No. Riff fills the reply, comment, message or post box and stops there. It does not schedule or publish anything, and you press send.
Do I need an account or an API key?
No. Riff runs on Gemini Nano, the model built into Chrome, so there are no servers to sign up for and no keys to paste.
Which sites and browsers does it support?
It reads posts on the desktop sites of X, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram and chats on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. It requires desktop Chrome 138 or newer. It does not work on messenger.com yet.
Which languages can it write in?
It can match the post's language or write in English, Spanish, French, German or Japanese. Older Chrome versions support only English, Spanish and Japanese on-device.
Will it agree to a price or meeting for me?
No. If someone asks for a time, price or yes or no, Riff asks a short question back or lets them suggest one, and the decision stays yours.
Where is my data stored?
Your voice, links, saved points and history live in Chrome's storage on your computer. A DM conversation is read on your device and kept only until the tab closes.
