About Riverside
Riverside is an online studio for recording, editing and publishing podcasts, interviews, webinars and videos. It records solo or with remote guests in high quality, with 4K video and audio capture, and aims to give creators studio-grade results without a crew.
The platform covers a text-based editor with AI help, live streaming in full HD, webinars, podcast hosting and analytics, and newsletters. AI tools include Magic Clips for turning recordings into shorts, an AI Twin, transcription, captions, audio cleanup, show notes, translation and social scheduling. Mac and mobile apps and an MCP integration extend where it can be used.
Riverside is proprietary and delivered as a hosted service. A free plan with no credit card is advertised, a separate pricing page covers paid tiers, and a Riverside University and community provide learning resources.
