By Chandler Supple2 min read

Welcome to the River blog! We're excited to share our journey building AI-powered writing tools that help you write better, faster.

What You'll Find Here

This blog is your window into how we're thinking about AI, writing, and productivity. You'll find:

  • Product Updates - New features, improvements, and what we're building next
  • Writing Tips - Practical advice on using AI to enhance your writing process
  • Engineering Deep-Dives - How we build River's AI writing assistance

Our Mission

At River, we believe AI should augment human creativity, not replace it. The best writing comes from combining human insight with intelligent assistance.

Traditional writing tools focus on fixing mistakes. River helps you think—suggesting better structure, identifying weak arguments, and providing real-time feedback as you write.

Who We're Building For

River is for anyone who writes:

  • Students working on essays and research papers
  • Professionals writing reports and documentation
  • Writers crafting articles and long-form content
  • Researchers organizing complex findings

If you spend time writing, River can help you do it more effectively.

What's Next

We're just getting started. In the coming weeks, you'll see posts on:

  • How to use AI writing tools effectively
  • Behind-the-scenes looks at our product development
  • Tips for better writing in specific domains
  • Updates on new features and capabilities

We're building River in public, and this blog is part of that journey. We want to share what we learn along the way.

Join the Conversation

Writing is a craft that improves with practice and feedback. We'd love to hear from you about what topics you're interested in, what challenges you face in your writing, and how AI tools can better serve writers.

Thanks for being here at the beginning. Let's build something great together.

Co-Founder & CTO at River

Chandler spent years building machine learning systems before realizing the tools he wanted as a writer didn't exist. He founded River to close that gap. In his free time, Chandler loves to read American literature, including Steinbeck and Faulkner.
