Riverside
Riverside is a browser-based studio platform for recording, editing, streaming, and publishing podcasts and videos. It captures separate local tracks for each participant at up to 4K video and uncompressed audio quality, so recordings are not degraded by unstable internet connections during remote interviews. The platform also runs recording sessions through a web link, with macOS, iOS, and Android apps available for additional workflows. The product bundles a suite of AI-assisted production tools on top of recording. Transcription generates text-based editing, where cutting a transcript also cuts the corresponding audio and video. Magic Clips identifies highlight moments and exports short-form clips, while Magic Audio improves speech quality, and additional tools handle captions, AI translation, show notes, an AI co-creator, and an AI Twin feature. Beyond capture and editing, Riverside covers distribution and growth: podcast hosting with analytics, newsletters, social content scheduling, and HD live streaming to platforms. Webinar hosting, async recording, and in-person recording use cases are also supported, along with an MCP integration and free utility tools. Riverside targets podcasters, producers, marketers, and businesses that need studio-grade output without a full production crew. It offers a free tier with paid plans, and an enterprise-oriented offering for larger organizations.

Problem solved
Remote podcast and video production usually requires expensive recording hardware, separate editing software, and manual post-production across disconnected tools. Riverside removes that friction by capturing high-quality separate audio and video tracks per participant in the browser, then providing transcription-based editing, AI clip generation, captions, hosting, and distribution in one place, so creators can produce studio-quality content without a production crew.
