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

Published

on

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.

Huawei Establishes Wearable Blood Pressure Technology Innovation Fund to Advance Research

Hypertension is one of the most common chronic conditions worldwide and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, blood pressure control rates remain low globally, highlighting the need for more effective monitoring and management.

To support further research in this field, Huawei has established the Wearable Blood Pressure Technology Innovation Fund in collaboration with ISH. The fund focuses on two key areas: wearable blood pressure measurement and wearable blood pressure management. It aims to encourage innovation, explore new applications for wearable technology, and support advances in hypertension prevention and management worldwide.

At the conference, researchers leading the first three projects selected for funding, from more than 80 applications, were invited to present their work. The projects involve researchers from the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka and the University of Edinburgh in the UK, Peking University People’s Hospital in China, and the University of Cambridge in the UK. The funding will support further research into blood pressure management using HUAWEI WATCH D series devices.

Airbag-Based Wearables Gain Recognition in Hypertension Guidelines

As wearable health technology continues to advance, wrist-worn blood pressure monitors using inflatable cuffs and oscillometric measurement technology are gaining recognition within the international medical community.

These devices have been addressed in several international guidelines and expert consensus statements, including the European Society of Hypertension’s Wearable Wrist-Watch Type Cuff Oscillometric Blood Pressure Monitors: Consensus Statement, the 2026 ISH Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines, and the HOPE Asia Network Asian Hypertension Guidelines. These publications recognise the potential role of validated wrist-worn oscillometric devices in blood pressure self-monitoring. Experts at the conference also discussed the significance of these developments and their implications for future clinical applications.

In China, the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Hypertension (2024 Edition) included wrist-worn oscillometric blood pressure monitoring for the first time. Meanwhile, the Expert Recommendations for Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement Using Wearable Devices recommended the use of smart wearable devices validated against international standards for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Together, these developments reflect growing international recognition of the role wearable technology can play in hypertension management.

During the “HUAWEI Wearable Technology” innovation and HUAWEI WATCH D3 experience sessions, HUAWEI experts introduced the technologies and applications behind the company’s approach to comprehensive health management. International hypertension specialists also shared their perspectives on the HUAWEI WATCH D3 and its potential to make blood pressure monitoring more accessible.

Professor Wang Jiguang, President of the Chinese Hypertension Association, noted: “Innovations like Minimally Disruptive ABPM and environmental monitoring reminder by Huawei Watch D3 may be inspiring for shaping a new direction on how future blood pressure management is automated and seamlessly embedded into daily life, via wearable devices”.

Professor George Stergiou, President of the International Society of Hypertension, described the Huawei Watch D3 as a novel, reliable wearable device that provides insights into blood pressure profiles and patterns. He also noted that the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the ISH encourages the clinical use of validated wrist-cuff blood pressure monitors, while calling for further research into their implementation in clinical practice.

Professor Maryam Al Saeed of Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences commented, “Dubai Health and Huawei are collaborating on a clinical research initiative to evaluate non-invasive wearable technology for earlier diabetes risk, leveraging real-world health data to advance personalized prevention, enable proactive healthcare, and improve long-term health outcomes across diverse populations.”

HUAWEI WATCH D3 Combines Monitoring with Everyday Convenience

Gong Yuansong, Vice President of Huawei’s Smart Wearable and Sports Health Product Line (Solutions and Ecosystem), delivered a keynote speech at the conference. He highlighted a growing shift in attitudes towards personal health, with people moving beyond treatment towards proactive monitoring and early prevention. Blood pressure management is also evolving, extending beyond individual measurements and hospital visits to become part of everyday health routines.

He added, “Smart wearables and comprehensive health insight capabilities, such as health glance, trends, and readiness scores, are promising to help users understand and gradually act to improve their health span.”

The HUAWEI WATCH D3 is the latest addition to Huawei’s health-focused wearable portfolio. As the third generation of Huawei’s wrist-worn blood pressure monitors, it combines professional measurement capabilities with a lightweight design and features that support everyday blood pressure management.

Equipped with ultra-narrow airbag oscillometric measurement technology, the HUAWEI WATCH D3 also introduces a new mode for measuring blood pressure before and after exercise. By tracking changes in blood pressure in response to physical activity, the feature helps users identify potentially abnormal responses and provides relevant insights and recommendations to support safer, more informed exercise. This mode is the first of its kind in the industry to receive EU CE certification under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and Class II medical device registration in China.

HUAWEI has also partnered with Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, to launch the Minimally Disruptive ABPM Study. The research initiative is also set to expand to countries including Saudi Arabia and Malaysia through partnerships with local research institutions.

The study explores a hybrid measurement approach that combines all-day photoplethysmography (PPG) monitoring with precise airbag-based oscillometric measurements for calibration. This approach aims to reduce the number of required cuff-based measurements from 27 to 7, helping to minimise disruptions during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

The monitoring approach also provides users with a detailed overview of their blood pressure patterns, including 24-hour, daytime and night-time averages, as well as charts showing how their blood pressure changes throughout the day. These insights can help users better understand their blood pressure trends and support long-term management.

From academic exchange to technological innovation, ISH-ECS 2026 highlighted the growing potential of wearable technology to transform blood pressure management. With innovations such as the HUAWEI WATCH D3, Huawei is bringing advanced health monitoring capabilities beyond clinical settings and into everyday life, helping people take a more proactive role in managing their own health.
