OpenAI's Dominik Kundel shares 5 lessons on working with GPT-6 Astra: rethink human-AI division of labor

Dominik Kundel, who leads developer experience at OpenAI, shares five hands-on lessons from building with GPT-6 Astra. He had Astra combine BrickLink Studio and Python to produce a buildable LEGO Golden Gate Bridge first draft in 10 minutes — after hours of failed attempts with custom Skills. Key takeaways: stop dictating operational steps and instead give clear purpose, context, and references; pair the model with tools it can see and edit results through; iterate with actionable first drafts and position-specific feedback; and let the model self-check while humans define scope and hand-back conditions.
