The podcast and video recording platform now turns an existing recording into a newsletter and sends it from inside the app — no separate email tool required.

Riverside, the HD remote recording platform for podcasts and video, announced on June 30, 2026 that it is adding newsletter publishing. Users can point an AI tool at a video or podcast they have already recorded and have it drafted into newsletter-ready content, or write a newsletter from scratch, then send it to subscribers directly from within the Riverside app. It is the company's first move into owning the email channel rather than just feeding other tools.
The framing from the company is repurposing, not displacement. Co-founder and CEO Nadav Keyson said that for most people speaking is easier and more natural than writing from scratch, and that the ideas are already in the conversation, so Riverside helps turn a recording someone has already made into newsletter content with far less effort. Riverside told TechCrunch it is not trying to directly take on established newsletter platforms like Mailchimp, Substack, Beehiiv, or Ghost; it is targeting creators who already record inside its ecosystem.
The newsletter feature joins Riverside's existing AI suite — Co-Creator for captions, blog posts and promo copy, Magic Clips for short cuts, transcripts, show notes, and translation. Alongside the newsletter launch, Riverside added an AI video enhancement feature, trained on conversational video podcasts, that it says improves lighting, depth, and sharpness, plus multi-camera recording and the ability to add remote guests. Pricing and any sending limits specific to the newsletter feature were not detailed at launch, so confirm those in-app.
Riverside's newsletter feature solves one hop well: recording in, email out, on its own list. The gap is everything between those two points and beyond email. A single podcast episode is worth far more than one newsletter — it is a week of posts. That breadth is where Kompozy lives. Feed the same episode in as a source and Kompozy generates the newsletter and the clips, the carousels, the quote graphics, the blog draft, the persona/avatar shorts, and the platform-native captions, all governed by one Persona Brief so the voice stays yours across every format.
The other half is distribution. Riverside sends the newsletter from its app; Kompozy schedules and publishes across nine social platforms plus Mailchimp for email and GHL Blog, WordPress, or a webhook for the blog, with autopilot and a per-post review pipeline in front of it. The clean play if you already love Riverside for capture: record there, then run the recording through Kompozy to turn that one conversation into a full week of on-brand content shipped everywhere — not just one email. If you want to act on this story itself, drop your take on the launch into Kompozy as a source and fan it into a post, a carousel, and a short the same day.
Newsletter publishing. Riverside added an AI tool that turns an existing video or podcast recording into newsletter-ready content, lets you also write newsletters from scratch, and sends them to subscribers directly from inside the Riverside app. The same update added AI video enhancement, multi-camera recording, and remote guest support.
Riverside says it is not trying to directly take on Mailchimp, Substack, Beehiiv, or Ghost. CEO Nadav Keyson framed it as repurposing for people who already record in Riverside — turning a conversation they have already had into a newsletter rather than asking them to start over in a separate writing tool.
Its AI drafts newsletter content from the spoken words in a recording you made on the platform, so the draft reflects your actual phrasing from the episode. You can then edit it and send it to your subscribers from within Riverside, or skip the AI and write a newsletter manually.
Riverside repurposes recordings into clips, captions, blog posts, and now newsletters, and its Co-Creator and Magic Clips features prepare social content. For turning one recording into many formats and publishing them across nine social platforms plus email and a blog on a schedule, creators pair it with a content engine like Kompozy.
