Riven Computer

Chat answers questions. Riven Computer takes tasks. Describe an outcome — “research what changed in this market this week and summarize it” — and Computer works it in the background, streaming its progress live and keeping every task in your history. It lives at rivenai.io/computer and uses your Riven account.

How it works

  1. Describe the task. Write the goal in plain language in the task composer. More context in, better results out.
  2. Watch it run. Output streams live as the task executes — you see progress as it happens, not just a final blob.
  3. Keep the result. Every task is saved to your history, newest first, with a clear status: complete, failed, or cancelled.

Cancel and retry

A running task can be cancelled at any point — it stops promptly and is marked cancelled, never silently discarded. Retrying a failed or cancelled task creates a fresh linked run, so the original record stays intact and you can compare attempts.

Honest by design

Computer never dresses up a failure as a success. If a task fails, you see an explicit failure state and what was produced before the failure. Each run also records how it was metered against your plan, so usage is always attributable.

Usage and plans

Computer runs are metered against your account’s plan, the same balance you see in Chat under Settings → Stats. See Billing & plans for how usage and upgrades work.

What’s rolling out

The next generation of Computer is rolling out now: scheduled tasks (run every N minutes or on a cron expression), multi-agent runs where coordinated workers research and synthesize with citations, plan-first mode (review and approve the plan before anything runs), model council (multiple models answer independently, with disagreements surfaced), and reusable skills and workflows. Watch the changelog for availability.
