Intellistake Unveils Austen, an AI Content Platform for Founders, Operators and Agencies, and Opens Exclusive Beta Waitlist

Key Highlights:

• Austen is an AI content platform --designed and developed by Intellistake-- built as a suite of specialized expert agents around brand-voice modeling, intended to produce written content that sounds authentically like the person using it, not standard GPT-written content.
  
  
• Purpose-built for founders, operators, thought leaders, and agencies, Austen is being designed to help users publish consistently while keeping the distinctive voice that makes their content stand out.
  
  
• Austen is being built around an innovative single-workflow model intended to take a user from idea to published content across every connected channel, with output designed to adapt to the native format of each platform rather than reposting the same content everywhere.
  
  
• Austen is currently in internal testing alongside enterprise-level deployments, with a beta release expected to follow ahead of a planned commercial release. Watch the introduction video on YouTube and sign up at goausten.ai/landing for exclusive early access to the beta once it opens.
  
  
• Austen reflects Intellistake's continued expansion into applied AI products, building on the Company's existing work across AI infrastructure, validator operations and enterprise AI agent deployments.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2026 /CNW/ - Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) ("Intellistake" or the "Company"), today unveils Austen, an AI content platform being designed to produce written content in a user's own voice.

Austen is being built for founders, thought leaders, marketing operators, and agencies. The platform is being designed to learn an individual or brand's tone, surface topics relevant to the user's industry, and produce drafts intended to read as something the user would have written themselves. The platform is currently undergoing internal testing, with a beta release expected to follow. The timing of release and milestone updates will be provided in a subsequent press release.

The Problem Austen Is Built to Solve

Small businesses, founders, and lean marketing teams face a widening content demand they do not have the internal resources to meet. AI has filled the gap. 58% of U.S. small businesses now use generative AI, up from 23% two years ago.¹

But when everyone uses the same tools, the output sounds the same. A 2025 study found that when small businesses lost access to ChatGPT, their content diverged by 15% from competitors', and engagement rose by roughly 3.5%.² Generic AI costs engagement.

Austen is being built to preserve the voice that generic AI strips out. The platform is being designed to learn how each user writes and produces drafts in their own words, at the same speed. In recent internal benchmark testing, content produced through Austen was returned as undetectable as AI-written by leading detection tools, including ZeroGPT.

What Austen Is Designed To Do

Austen is not a single large language model with a prompt box on top. It is being built as a suite of specialized expert agents, each focused on a discrete part of the content workflow and each trained by humans with deep expertise in that discipline. The agents are designed to work together, with the user's voice as the through-line.

• Daily topic discovery. Austen is being designed to surface what is trending within a user's industry each day, or accept a user-supplied topic.
• Brand-voice modeling. The platform is being designed to learn and refine a user's voice over time, producing drafts intended to reflect that voice consistently.
• Multi-format output. Users will be able to select page layouts, image styles and auto-narration for audio playback.
• From draft to distribution in one workflow. Austen is being designed to close the gap between writing and publishing through a single-workflow architecture. Output is intended to adapt to the native format of each connected channel, and finished content is intended to be published directly from the Austen dashboard. Examples can be seen on Austen's live Facebook, Instagram and X channels.

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

"We are building Austen because we kept watching the same thing happen. Founders and operators have never had more pressure to publish good quality content, and the tools currently accessible have made their output sound increasingly alike. The result is a convergence: more content, less signal.

Austen is being built to reverse that. It learns how each user writes, surfaces what is worth writing about that day, and produces drafts in their voice, ready to publish across channels from one place. The user's voice is treated as the asset and the model as the instrument, rather than the other way around.

That sequencing sits at the center of what Intellistake is building toward. Our mission is to develop AI products that make individuals and businesses more distinctive, not more uniform, and Austen is a clear expression of that mission we are bringing to market."

Liam Harpur, VP of Technology and Development at Intellistake, added:

"Most AI writing tools start with a model and bolt a prompt box on top. Austen is being built the other way around. The work has been in the layer between the user and the model, covering voice capture, topic relevance and output structure. Internal testing is focused on stress-testing that layer, and the beta is intended to refine it further based on how real users actually work.

Austen represents the next step in Intellistake's expansion into applied AI products, building on the Company's existing work across AI infrastructure, validator operations and enterprise AI solutions. We will share additional milestones as Austen advances through testing and toward release."

Path to Beta Release

Austen is currently in internal testing. The beta release is expected to follow ahead of a planned commercial release. There is no certainty that Austen will be commercialized and the current development timeline and total costs are not known at this time. Updates will follow by way of subsequent press release.
