Riverside Launches AI Newsletter Tool After Raising Over $60 Million

Summary
Riverside now lets users turn recorded videos and podcasts into newsletters and send them directly from its app, adding a text publishing channel to its creator toolkit.
The AI feature repurposes spoken content into newsletter drafts, while users can also write newsletters from scratch instead of starting on a blank page in a separate platform.
The update also adds multi-camera recording, remote guest support, AI first-cut editing, social-media hook generation, and video enhancement for lighting, depth, and sharpness.
Riverside, which has raised more than $60 million, is expanding as publishing platforms blur formats: Substack added a recording studio in March, Beehiiv moved into podcasting in April, and Mastodon introduced newsletter publishing in June.
