GPT-6 Astra hands-on: cross-tool orchestration, product thinking, and self-checking
HowDevelop · x · 2026-09-05
Blogger HowDevelop shares three standout impressions of GPT-6 Astra (unverified):
- Strong tool orchestration: it moves between browser research, coding, and apps like Blender via Computer Use, then combines everything into one finished experience.
- Autonomous product thinking: given a direction and a few strong references — without detailing every interaction — it figures out many design and UX details on its own.
- Self-checking: it opens its results, tests interactions, inspects visuals, and keeps refining what doesn't work instead of stopping after generation.
