Founded in 2020 and based in Montreal, Rivr (formerly Botni.Vision) develops deep-tech software that lets creators, streamers, and brands search inside video to surface key emotional moments and audience reactions in real time. The platform combines AI-driven analysis of audience engagement with real-time streaming to make instantly searchable video archives. Current customers include high-profile gaming and hardware companies such as Amazon Games, Bungie, Epic Games, and Logitech, validating early product-market fit. Rivr positions itself as a tool to boost content performance and shorten editing cycles for marketing and broadcasting teams. With fresh seed capital, the company plans to expand headcount, further refine its AI models, and commercialize the platform more broadly. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed, but the roster of enterprise clients suggests early traction. The company ultimately aims to become the default search layer for live and recorded video across entertainment and brand marketing use cases.
