JWX, the technology company empowering media businesses to connect content with consumers across platforms, has acquired Aug X Labs, the startup behind Augie Studio, an all-in-one AI-assisted commercial video studio.

  • JWX acquires Aug X Labs and integrates Augie Studio into JWX Studio as an LLM-powered content transformation layer.
  • Enables publishers to convert articles, podcasts, and long-form videos into scalable video, audio, and future formats like interactive content, games, and quizzes.
  • Supports editorial and social teams in generating additional content quickly, regardless of experience level.
  • All Aug X Labs employees join JWX; CEO Jeremy Toeman becomes SVP of AI Innovation, CPO JT White becomes VP, Head of Content Studio.
  • Augie sunsets its direct-to-consumer product to focus exclusively on enterprise clients with enhanced features and support.
  • Acquisition strengthens JWX Studio’s capabilities for operational efficiency, content extension, and revenue growth in a fragmented media landscape.

The integration of Augie Studio’s AI technology into JWX Studio equips publishers to repurpose high-value assets into platform-optimized formats designed for modern distribution and monetization. This reduces manual effort, accelerates content velocity, and helps media organizations compete more effectively amid increasing pressure to drive sustainable revenue across diverse channels.

“Publishers are under increasing pressure to extend the value of their content across more platforms while driving sustainable revenue,” said JWX CEO John Nardone. “Augie strengthens our publisher platform by enabling media companies to transform existing content into multi-format experiences optimized for modern distribution, engagement, and monetization. This acquisition is part of JWX’s broader mission to help publishers operate more efficiently and compete in an increasingly fragmented ecosystem.”

Jeremy Toeman, CEO and co-founder of Aug X Labs, will now serve as SVP of AI Innovation at JWX, leading the production services team and AI-first product development. With prior leadership roles at WarnerMedia, Etsy, CBS Interactive, and Sling Media, Toeman brings deep expertise in building transformative media products.

“In publishing, momentum comes from the right partnerships,” said Toeman. “Augie was built to help publishers move faster and unlock more value from their content, and joining forces with JWX accelerates that mission in a meaningful way. After a career building transformational media products, I’m very excited about this partnership and the opportunity to combine a future-focused platform designed for what publishers need next in an AI-first content world.”

The acquisition positions JWX Studio as a comprehensive solution for media companies seeking to maximize content ROI through AI-driven repurposing and intelligent distribution, while maintaining editorial control and operational efficiency.
