Riverside Rebrands as Riverside.com
On May 20, 2026, Riverside, formerly known as Riverside.fm, announced its transition to a new identity with the adoption of the name Riverside and relocating its online presence to
riverside.com. This shift marks a significant evolution from being merely a remote recording tool for podcasters, to an all-encompassing studio that facilitates recording, editing, livestreaming, and repurposing content. With the `.fm` domain now redirecting to the new `.com` site, current users are not required to take any action to adapt to this change.
A Journey of Transformation
Founded in 2020, Riverside began its journey with a focus on providing video podcasters with a 4K recording tool. Over the next six years, it expanded its capabilities to include a comprehensive suite for handling the complete content workflow. The platform now offers features for recording, editing, and livestreaming, as well as ways to repurpose video and audio into clips, social media posts, captions, transcripts, and translations, making it a favorite among major media entities and marketing teams worldwide.
The platform has gained traction with renowned brands such as Microsoft, Spotify, The New York Times, and Marvel, which employ Riverside for various needs including podcasts, marketing videos, internal communications, and high-quality broadcast content. This expansion is a testament to Riverside's effective adaptation to the evolving needs of its diverse clientele.
Elevating the User Experience with AI
As part of its commitment to innovation, Riverside has made considerable investments into enhancing the platform's AI capabilities. The introduction of
Co-Creator, a chat-based AI editing agent, allows users to effortlessly turn raw recordings into polished content. By simply prompting the AI with plain text requests, users can generate ready-to-share clips and captions, greatly simplifying the editing process. This feature symbolizes Riverside's effort to make editing as accessible and streamlined as possible.
Nadav Keyson, CEO and co-founder of Riverside, remarked, "When we first established Riverside in 2020, our focus was solely on video podcasters, justifying the .fm domain. However, our evolution reflects our complex offerings today that encompass much more than recording alone. Our all-in-one platform for editing and livestreaming needed a name that accurately represented our expanded scope."
The acquisition of the riverside.com domain in 2025 was a strategic move aligned with Riverside's growth into a comprehensive studio platform catering to diverse users, ranging from enterprise clients to individual content creators. The full transition was completed in 2026, solidifying riverside.com as the central hub for all Riverside services.
Why the Change Matters
The conversations Riverside conducts with clients today showcase a notable shift in focus from just podcasting. As marketing teams increasingly require tools for creating video content and webinars, and podcast creators seek comprehensive solutions for AI-assisted production processes, Riverside is strategically positioning itself to meet these growing demands. Abel Grünfeld, VP of Marketing at Riverside, highlighted this trend, stating that their clients now utilize Riverside for "recording, editing, livestreaming, and repurposing at a quality previously reserved for full production studios."
Riverside's ongoing product development is committed to augmenting its AI capabilities across the entire workflow from recording to publishing, as well as expanding its functionality for both media organizations and corporate teams. Continuous investment into recording infrastructure is also a core component of its strategy to remain ahead in the content creation space. The launch of the Co-Creator exemplifies the type of innovations Riverside aims to bring in the future.
