What changes when AI can move beyond answering questions and start doing work inside the software you already use?
Our new AI Apps & Agents Series course, GPT-6 Astra, explores that question through a practical look at Astra's browser and computer use capabilities.
In this approximately 25-minute beginner-to-intermediate review, instructor Mike Kaput demonstrates how Astra can work inside Chrome to complete a real browser-based task. You'll see it create a fictional workshop registration form in Google Forms, then revise that form when the requirements change.
The goal isn't simply to show what the technology can do. It's to help you understand where browser-based AI agents may fit into everyday business work, and where human oversight remains essential.
What You'll Learn About GPT-6 Astra
The course starts by distinguishing Astra's broader model capabilities from its ability to operate browsers and desktop applications. From there, you'll see how to select Astra in ChatGPT Work and direct it using plain-language instructions.
You'll learn how to:
- Distinguish Astra's broader capabilities from its browser and computer use features.
- Select Astra in ChatGPT Work for browser-based tasks.
- Direct AI to create and update work inside a familiar web application.
- Set appropriate task boundaries and review actions taken inside signed-in accounts.
- Evaluate Astra's benefits, limitations, usage costs, and oversight requirements for your own work.
The Google Forms demonstration makes these capabilities concrete. You'll watch Astra create a registration form and then modify it to accommodate people who want access to a recording rather than attending the workshop live.
What Happens When AI Can Use Your Software?
Browser control opens up a different way of thinking about AI assistance. Instead of only generating instructions or content for you to copy into another application, an AI system can potentially carry out portions of the workflow itself.
That makes questions about delegation and oversight increasingly important.
The course explores what to watch for when AI operates inside signed-in accounts, how to establish boundaries around a task, and why reviewing the AI's actions remains an important part of the process.
You'll also consider how these capabilities could apply beyond Google Forms to other business systems and workflows.
Is GPT-6 Astra Right for Your Work?
This review is designed for knowledge workers who spend much of their day in browser tabs and business applications, as well as marketing and operations professionals exploring AI-assisted workflows.
It's also relevant for business leaders evaluating what browser-based AI use could mean for their teams, processes, and policies.
By the end of the course, you'll have a practical introduction to Astra's capabilities, along with its limitations, usage costs, and requirements for human review. That context can help you identify an appropriate small task to test rather than delegating work without clear boundaries.
