Studio-quality podcast and video recording in the browser, with AI editing built in.
Reviewed by Tom · Founder & lead reviewerRemote interviews live or die by the guest's internet, and classic call-recording tools capture whatever compressed mess arrives over the wire. Riverside flips the model: every participant is recorded locally on their own machine in high quality, and the files upload progressively in the background. The result is studio-grade raw material from a conversation that happened over a shaky connection.
Recording is half the job; Riverside's AI handles a surprising amount of the other half. Transcription is fast and accurate, filler words can be stripped in a click, and Magic Clips finds shareable moments and formats them vertically for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. Text-based editing means cutting the conversation by deleting sentences from the transcript - the same trick that made Descript famous, aimed squarely at interview content.
If you publish interview-based content - podcasts, YouTube conversations, expert panels - Riverside is the strongest tool in its lane and the subscription earns its keep quickly. Solo creators who mostly record themselves can get by with simpler setups, and heavy post-production teams will still finish in a dedicated editor. For everyone in between, it removes the single biggest quality risk in remote content.
