GPT-6 Astra: How I’d Make Money With It
Greg Isenberg and Ras Mic walk through nine practical ways founders can use GPT-6 Astra to make money, from auditing apps to prototyping hardware.
The gist
-
A performance audit using Astra cut one app's load time from 800ms to 20-30ms, and security audits can catch critical bugs early.
-
You can map a service business's workflow and turn it into software priced at $500 to $5,000 a month to validate the idea fast.
-
Astra can act as a background worker to automate tasks like bill renegotiation, competitor monitoring, and QA testing by navigating websites autonomously.
-
Ras Mic built a working AI speaker prototype for around $500 in under 30 minutes, using Astra for parts, 3D modeling, and code.
