Built around your real work
We ingest your email, files, forms, and notes so River learns the recurring work your team already does.
River for small business
A private AI workspace, built around the work you already do.
We set up River around your recurring back-office work. You approve every draft before it goes out.
Setup plus monthly · 2-4 weeks to your first working workflow.
Your team's inbox sorted, replies drafted in your voice. Nothing leaves the workspace until you approve it.

Who runs on River
Owner-operators using their deployments.
“Our inbox used to win every morning. Now I scan a queue, send the ones that read right, and we are done by 9.”
“Patient follow-ups and referral letters are drafted before I sit down. I edit, sign, and the day starts on time.”
“Grant drafts that actually reuse our prior submissions. We responded to three RFAs last cycle we would have skipped.”
A big difference for small business
An operations workspace, with you in the loop.
You approve every output
Replies, documents, and tasks land in a review queue. You stay the decision-maker.
Works with your stack
Gmail, Outlook, Drive, Dropbox, QuickBooks, Stripe, HubSpot, DocuSign, Slack, and 100+ more.
Private by default
Encrypted, owned by you, never used to train models. Export or delete anything.
