Riverside Agents

Riverside Agents is a team of AI specialists built only for video, designed to take on the production work around a recording so the person in charge can stay in the director's chair. The team is made up of four named agents — Producer, Editor, Clipper and Marketer — that cover prep, editing, clipping and publishing. Riverside frames the product around a simple shift: where a creator or business team used to be the whole team, they now act as the director while the agents handle the prep, editing, clipping and publishing. Users choose how much to hand off or do by hand, and nothing is published until they approve it. The agents work natively inside Riverside's own tools, which are built for conversations and talking head videos. The problem the product addresses is the sheer number of separate jobs involved in publishing video consistently. Preparing a session, running the recording, editing the episode, finding the moments worth sharing, writing captions and scheduling posts all traditionally fall on the same person. Riverside describes the old reality bluntly: "You used to be the whole team." General-purpose AI assistants, the site argues, do a bit of everything, which means they are not specialized for video and do not have direct access to your recordings or to video production tools. Riverside Agents are presented as the alternative — specialists that only do video, each running on proprietary AI built for its one job, working natively inside Riverside so they can reach your recordings and the platform's production tools directly. That focus is also positioned as a speed advantage: the site states you can edit, clip and publish full episodes without hitting your AI usage limit halfway through. The Producer preps the session and helps you run it. In the site's example, a user asks the Producer to prepare them for an interview with a guest about growing a design studio past 20 people. The Producer returns a plan with eight questions spanning from first client to first hire, plus three talking points to come back to if the conversation drifts. It also preps the studio itself — loading a saved two-person layout, loading the brand kit and pinning the script — and reports back that the studio is set and ready to check. The Producer is described as the agent that "runs your show," with the stated outcome that you walk in ready and confident because your questions, script and studio are already prepared. The Editor turns a raw recording into a standout episode. According to the FAQ, it tightens the pacing, cleans up the audio, switches layouts, and adds your branding and captions, then suggests what would take the episode further, such as B-roll or motion graphics. It also handles pause and filler-word cleanup and builds rough cuts. In the on-page examples the Editor reports that it tightened the intro so you get to the guest faster, and when a user types "Tighten the open," it replies that it cut 21 seconds of preamble in about a minute. Users retain the final say on every change, and the site notes that if you do know your way around an edit, you can direct every detail. The Clipper finds your best moments and cuts them for social. It produces vertical clips from a finished recording — the site shows two finished vertical video clips made from a recording and a Clipper message reporting that it made two clips from Episode 42, or found two clips that will land with the audience. A phone lock-screen example shows a Clipper notification reading "I cut 4 clips. Jump in to review them." The stated outcome for creators is that the agents cut clips, write captions and fill your calendar, so you stay consistent without the grind, and that the agents can also find the best moments in old recordings and turn them into new posts so you can repurpose your back catalog. The Marketer writes your captions and schedules every post. It drafts your posts, captions and newsletter, and fills your calendar with scheduled posts — the site's example shows the Marketer reporting that two posts are scheduled. Critically, nothing gets published until you approve it; the agents draft the content, but publishing waits on your sign-off. You can step in at any point, change anything, or keep any step manual. For businesses, the agents can also support webinar prep: sharing a brief lets the agents build the registration page, invites, run of show and Q&A. The overall approach is that the agents do not wait to be asked. The moment you stop recording, they come back with how to edit it and which clips to cut, so the work keeps moving without you having to initiate each step. Interaction is conversational — you tell the team what you want in plain words and it suggests the edits, clips and posts that get you there. Everything the agents do on web they also do on mobile, so you can review clips, approve posts or tweak an edit on the go. The site also emphasizes that edits come back at the speed you work, so you are not waiting between rounds, and that each agent runs on proprietary AI built for its specific job rather than a general-purpose model. The benefits stated on the page follow from that structure. Creators walk in ready to record rather than scrambling to prep; they get studio-level edits with suggested cuts, B-roll and motion graphics that make the show look polished; they post consistently because clips, captions and the calendar are handled; and they can repurpose old recordings into new posts. For businesses, the agents enable producing videos at scale without a video team — record once and turn it into on-brand videos for every channel — capturing customer testimonials from customer interviews as polished testimonials and quotes, keeping every recording on brand through the brand kit, and keeping every channel active. The FAQ adds that no editing experience is required, since you can simply describe what you want in plain words. Concrete use cases named on the site include podcast and interview prep, where the Producer generates questions, talking points and a pre-configured studio; episode editing, where the Editor tightens pacing, cleans audio, switches layouts and adds branding and captions; social clipping, where the Clipper produces vertical clips from the best moments; and publishing, where the Marketer writes captions and schedules posts. For creators the page also lists repurposing a back catalog of old recordings into new posts. For businesses it lists webinar preparation with a registration page, invites, run of show and Q&A; producing videos at scale for every channel; capturing customer testimonials from interviews; keeping every recording on brand; and showing up on every channel with clips and posts from each recording. Riverside Agents are included in every Riverside plan, and Riverside can be tried free for 14 days. What the agents can do depends on your plan, the same as the rest of Riverside, and features that run on AI credits — such as video enhancement — still use credits when an agent applies them. The product is presented for creators and businesses alike: podcasters, video creators, marketers and teams without a dedicated video team who record conversations and talking-head videos. It sits natively alongside Riverside's recording, editing, clipping and publishing tools rather than acting as a separate add-on. In summary, Riverside Agents positions itself as the first team of AI agents built only for video, covering prep, editing, clipping and publishing while keeping the user in the director's chair. The value proposition is specialization plus control: proprietary agents focused on one job each, working inside the tools built for conversations and talking head videos, returning results fast and publishing nothing without approval.
