Riverside Expands Toolset With AI-Driven Newsletter Capability

Riverside, a company known for its video and podcast recording tools, is introducing a new newsletter feature.
This feature allows users to convert videos and podcasts into newsletters using AI within its app.
Users can also create newsletters from scratch without utilizing the AI conversion.
The goal is not to compete with established newsletter platforms like Mailchimp, Substack, Beehiiv, or Ghost, but to utilize the content already being produced by its user base.
Nadav Keyson, Riverside's co-founder and CEO, highlighted that users often find speaking easier than writing, and the new feature aims to simplify newsletter creation.
Additional updates include support for multi-camera recording setups and options to add remote guests to recordings.
New AI features improve video editing by drafting initial cuts, creating social media content hooks, and enhancing video quality in terms of lighting, depth, and sharpness.
Riverside has raised over $60 million and is joining other companies in exploring alternative publishing methods for revenue growth.
This move parallels other efforts, like Substack's built-in recording studio and Beehiiv's podcast venture, to diversify digital content offerings.
