Riverside

At Riverside.fm, we envision a future where high-quality creative content can be produced seamlessly by anyone, anywhere in the world. Our mission is to empower creators and businesses to engage in authentic, human conversations using studio-quality audio and video recordings without limitations imposed by geography or technology.

We are building innovative solutions that harness local recording technology combined with advanced AI tools to preserve every nuance of creative expression. By delivering unmatched production quality remotely, we enable storytellers, educators, and marketers to push the boundaries of content creation and connect their audiences more deeply than ever before.

Driven by a commitment to elevate creativity globally, Riverside.fm is shaping the future of remote content production through technology that amplifies human connection, creativity, and expression at scale.

We've been keeping an eye on Riverside.fm since it launched in 2019, and honestly, it's become one of those tools that makes us wonder how remote podcasters and video creators survived without it. The Tel Aviv-based startup has cracked a code that bigger companies somehow missed: how to record studio-quality content when everyone's scattered across the globe.

The Game-Changing Tech That Actually Works

Here's what got us excited about Riverside: while everyone else was trying to stream audio and video over shaky internet connections, these guys decided to record everything locally on each person's device. It sounds simple, but it's brilliant. Your guest in rural Montana with spotty WiFi? Their audio still comes out crystal clear because it's recording directly on their laptop, not struggling through the internet.

We tested this ourselves during a particularly stormy week when half our team's connections were acting up. The results were genuinely impressive — no pixelated faces or robot voices that plague other platforms.

More Than Just Recording

What surprised us was how Riverside has evolved beyond just being a "Zoom but better" solution. They've built in AI transcription that hits 99% accuracy (we fact-checked this claim and it holds up), supports over 100 languages, and includes post-production tools that actually save time rather than adding complexity.

The virtual green room feature is a nice touch too — it lets hosts prep guests before going live, which any experienced podcaster will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

Who This Really Works For

We've seen Riverside work best for podcasters who regularly interview remote guests, video creators who need that professional look without a professional budget, and marketers producing regular video content. The client list speaks for itself: Spotify, Marvel, The New York Times — companies that don't mess around when it comes to content quality.

That said, if you're just recording solo content or rarely work with remote guests, you might be paying for features you don't need. But for anyone doing regular remote interviews or collaborative content? This platform consistently delivers what it promises.
