Riverside is a remote recording platform that provides local, clear audio/video—perfect for podcasters and interviewers.

About

Riverside

Riverside.fm solved the biggest problem in remote recording: crappy internet ruining your interview. It records locally on each person's computer, so even if the call gets choppy, your recording stays crystal clear. For podcasters and anyone doing remote interviews, it's a game-changer. Plus, you get separate tracks, AI transcription, and a basic editor to clean things up.

But don't mistake it for a full editing suite. The text-based editor is clever for cutting interviews, but you're not adding fancy graphics or complex effects here. It's purpose-built for capturing great remote conversations, not for post-production wizardry. The real question: is getting studio-quality remote recordings your main challenge, or do you need the full editing package? For complete podcast production, combine quality recording with automatic transcription and AI content idea generation.

Munch is an AI viral clip finder that generates trend-aware AI clips—perfect for social media managers.

About

Munch

Munch wants to find the viral moments hiding in your long videos. Upload your content, let the AI analyze it, and boom—you get a collection of short clips it thinks will blow up on social. It even tells you why it picked each clip, which is pretty cool for learning what works. If you're drowning in content and need to feed the social media beast, Munch is your lifeguard.

The thing is, viral according to AI might not mean viral for YOUR audience. The algorithm doesn't know your brand voice or your community's inside jokes. You'll probably spend time sorting through its picks to find the real gems. It's more like having an eager assistant than a seasoned social media manager. So what works better for you: AI efficiency or human intuition about what your audience actually wants? For more control over viral content creation, check out tools that combine YouTube Shorts creation with customizable AI hook generation tailored to your audience.

The software is so clean and easy to use. It makes you feel like a professional editor even when you are simply a layperson! There is enough 'stuff' to help professionalise your recordings without feeling overwhelmed and it's intuitive interface means that you can hit the ground running.

Poor poor poor. For the money they charge, there are always issues. We will be moving when our annual sub expires!! No native Windows version of the software is another joke.

Accidentally signed up for the annual subscription when I meant to sign up for the monthly subscription. I reached out to customer support about this issue and they resolved it very quickly. I'm very satisfied with the support I received for this issue and I'm excited to continue using Munch for our marketing purposes.

I was recommended to try this by Tony Robbins business mastery. Even though my friend said he had issues with site I still gave it a shot, I did the free version, and of course I needed the upgraded version once I uploaded video, I added some crappy B roll that AI suggested (not useful) and then from that point on website froze on my. I thought it was my connection but nope it was just that site. I probably went back another 2 or 3 times and it would again completely freeze on me. As a busy business owner I don't have time for this. I requested my money back and they refused. The lady Diana accused me of asking for my videos back. Could care less about anything I uploaded. I just think I puked$45 out the window.
