User films a drain problem, GPT 6 Astra designs a parametric part in Fusion 360 live
gdb · x · 2026-09-08
A user shared his "touch of AGI" moment: he recorded a 4-minute video describing his tangled-hair shower drain problem, taking measurements with a digital caliper, then handed the video to GPT 6 Astra (Ultra).
Astra handled the whole pipeline:
- Extracted his voice and matched video frames to the measurements
- Proposed a fix for easier cleaning and generated an interactive sketch
- Drove Fusion 360 via computer use, designing the part live and making it fully parametric
gdb (Greg Brockman) amplified it as an example of "Astra for solving real-world problems," highlighting the model's video-understanding-plus-tool-use chain.
