GPT-6 Astra Feels Like AGI (Here’s Everything It Can Do)
Riley Brown walks through seven things GPT-6 Astra can do now, covering game building, 3D asset creation, and running AI agents around the clock.
The gist
-
Brown built a multiplayer game from a house PDF in under an hour, with Blender handling the 3D model automatically.
-
Anyone can create working desktop software with a single prompt and zero coding knowledge, as Brown showed by building an image-search app in 16 minutes.
-
Codex gives the model full computer access, browser control, and pre-authenticated tools, making it far more capable than using the model on its own.
-
Brown says a Mac Mini running Codex around the clock, accessed remotely by phone or iPad, is the practical infrastructure move for builders right now.

"I do not think there is a more important tool. This is the number one thing that I would learn right now. I would learn how to use Codex because the UI is so nice. It's like ChatGPT except it can fully control your entire computer."

"I had this idea for an app that would look a lot like Raycast. Raycast is my clipboard manager and it's my app finder. It's a very cool app. I love how it just kind of pops up when you need it."

"The Mac Mini setups remain supreme. I just bought a Mac Mini. In fact, I just bought another Mac Mini. I want to have access to Codex wherever I go. I want one instance of Codex running 24/7 and I'm going to be setting that up."

"They've already added this Sites feature which adds hosting, database storage baked into it, authentication, all of these things are baked into Sites. I can just create a site and it will host it on ChatGPT. You can share it with your team. One of the best use cases right now ..."
