Overview
Riverside is a remote audio and video production platform founded in 2020 by brothers Nadav and Gideon Keyson. The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
The platform records participant audio and video locally, then uploads tracks progressively. This workflow produces separate files for each participant and reduces the effect of unstable internet connections on recorded quality.
Riverside supports recording, editing, AI transcription, livestreaming, podcast hosting, publishing, and short-form content creation. It serves independent creators, media teams, marketers, educators, and enterprise communications teams.
