River
The AI desktop
River is a desktop workspace that brings documents, spreadsheets, presentations, a file system, and a browser into one shared environment, with AI available to work alongside you on projects rather than in a separate chat.
It includes native Documents, Sheets, Slides, and Browser modules, real-time team collaboration with comments, and connectors to external tools such as Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, Google Calendar, GitHub, Stripe, Notion, Figma, AWS, and analytics platforms, with AI able to use connected context across workspaces. Image creation and multiple AI models are supported.
River is offered as a free plan with monthly AI usage, a pay-as-you-go option with usage-based AI billing, and per-person monthly subscription tiers (Basic, Standard, Premium) that include monthly AI credit, storage allowances, and support levels; additional usage is billed separately.
