A user who spent roughly 16 hours a day with Astra for several days concludes: "if AGI is truly here, it's not Astra." Another adds that Astra does some things well but still makes dumb mistakes on fairly simple tasks and burns more energy than necessary — better and cheaper than a default intern or junior staffer, yet with tons of room for improvement.
