Riverside solves a specific technical problem remote podcast and video interviews have always had: recording over a video call captures whatever compressed, glitchy audio and video the call itself produced, artifacts and all. Riverside instead records locally on each participant's own device in high resolution, then uploads and syncs those separate files afterward, so a bad internet connection during the call doesn't degrade the final recording.
Founded in 2020, the company built AI editing tools on top of that local-recording foundation: automatic transcription, filler-word removal, and one-click clip generation for social media turn a raw interview into publishable content without a separate editing pass. Multi-guest recording and a producer mode for managing live recording sessions round out a toolset built specifically for interview-style podcast and video production.
A free tier covers limited recording time, and paid plans start around $19 a month for more hours and higher export resolution. For anyone recording remote interviews who has been burned by call-quality artifacts ruining an otherwise good conversation, Riverside's local-first recording approach solves that specific, common problem directly.
