Riverside VS Quso.ai

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.

Quso.ai doesn’t just want to edit your videos—it wants to be your AI video strategist. Upload a long-form video and it jumps right into action: breaking it into chapters, spotting the best moments for short clips, and even writing out your social media captions (hashtags included). It’ll recommend titles, publishing times, and track your post-performance like a built-in analytics assistant. It’s built for creators who want to scale without hiring a full team—think of it as your always-on content manager.

And while it’s a wizard at workflow, data, and speed, AI strategy isn’t always brand strategy. If you’re in a niche market or building something with nuance, its suggestions might feel a bit templated. You’ll still want to review those AI-written descriptions and decide which moments deserve to be clipped. That said, Quso delivers serious efficiency. If your goal is consistent, algorithm-friendly content without burning out, it’s a pretty compelling co-pilot to have on board.
