GPT-6 Astra: Build & Automate ANYTHING!

So one of the questions that we had today was how to use Astra 6, GPT Astra 6 for e-comm. And this applies to any business, whether you have e-comm or whether you, for example, have an agency, maybe have a community, whatever you're focused on. Running and automating a business with AI automation and specifically Astra 6, really, really powerful. But there's a few ways I would approach it. I'm going to run you through exactly what I would do and how I'd start and where to go first of all with this.

So what I'm going to do here is pull up some notes for you to basically run you through how I would approach this, and then we'll get straight into this. So the first thing that I would say is you want to audit your time and figure out where you're spending your time as a business owner. And this applies for any business, right? It doesn't matter if you're doing e-comm or anything like that. Now, specifically for e-comm, what are some of the tasks you typically be doing on a day-to-day basis? Probably setting up ads, probably looking at getting new products added to your website, and also, I would say, just trying to drive traffic to your website, right? Trying to get traffic to your store. So those are like three example tasks. Now, that would be step one, which is time audit. So the first thing you want to do is just analyze where are you spending your time? If you're spending all your time on ads, great, start there. If you're spending all your time, for example, trying to get traffic, that's the sort of thing.

If you're trying to create new creatives, great place to start, right? So, for example, a lot of people running ads, we run ads ourselves for our agency, and new creatives and new copy and that sort of thing is a lot of work, right? So if you want to start there, that's a great place to start. The step number two is to start automating, right? So, for example, let's say that you are spending most of your time from stage one on creating ads and ads creatives. That's what you're spending most of your time on. So what you want to do is build an automation, custom automation for that specific example. So, for example, we actually had a Neo Profit Boarding member who requested that feature, and we built it into our agentic operating system tool, which you can see over here. And so we have this ad studio that we've built, which was a good time, because we only created this a few days ago, and we're already getting questions about how to automate an e-com still with Astra 6 So how do we build this whole system here? How do we build the ad studio where we can basically automate ad creatives and the headlines and the actual copy for everything else, right? What we did is we went straight into Astra 6 So once you've done your time audit, you've identified what you spend most of your time on. For example, in this situation, you're spending most of your time on creating ads. Then you would go into Astra 6, you're gonna start a new chat like so, open up the folder where you want to create your automation. And when I say create an automation, I just mean a tool, a tool that you can come back to, and you've got everything in one place where you can pretty much automate anything that you want in one single click. So if we have a look at this system here, we want to automate creating ad copy and ad creatives and new ones for our business with AI.

So how do we do that? How do we create this tool? So if we have a look inside Astra 6, and I'll find the previous conversation for it, what you can see here for this workflow when we were automating stage two is we said, can you add a section? And we have an agentic operating system. You can get it inside the AI Powerful Boarding, but if you just want to create a one-off tool for this, you can. It works exactly the same way. And you would just say, create an automation that allows me to and you insert the task. So in this situation, we are inserting the task of generating new ads, including creatives and copy for the ads so that we can easily generate new versions, right? And so if you are trying to find ideas for ads, you know, and you want to automate it, well, you can use this system here. And so if you come back to the plan, stage one is the time audit and stage two is the automating. Now, if we wanted an example prompt, here's what it would look like. This is the prompt that we actually use to build this tool. So once you've done step one and then you've completed step two, you then need to come on to step three, which is step three is testing plus iterating. So you have to understand that when you are automating with GPT Astra 6, the biggest issue is that a lot of the stuff you build, it won't work first time around in the way that you want it. It won't look and feel the way that you want it. It'll probably break in parts where it hasn't tested it properly, and it will probably not generate things in the way that you want it. And that's okay, because this whole process from stage one to stage two honestly took about five to ten minutes. So the next step is just to test and iterate and make sure it actually works. Let me show you an example of that. So if we go back into that Astra 6 conversation, where we said, you know, can you do this? Can you set up this ads tool? It created the ads studio, as you can see right here. And then you can see that we actually tested out, and we said, and we found an error in the generation. It's taking a while to load there, so I can't really pull up. But we said, hey, this is an error that we've got with the automation just built. Can you fix it so it actually works? And then you test it yourself, and you make sure it works, right? So the example prompt, once you've found an error or something that you don't like, it looks like this. And you would attach a screenshot, or you would attach, for example, feedback based on what you want to improve. From there, Chat Cheapity is going to test it, make sure that actually works, test the workflow, and then you go back and forth with it until it finally works, until we finally got the ad studio that we now have set up, like you can see right here. And again, this applies for any business. You know, if you're an agency, you might be spending a lot of time on customer service. If you are, for example, a, I don't know, an infraproduct, you might be spending a lot of time just coming up with new ideas and new plans for the content. If you are running, for example, SaaS, or you probably need to spend a lot of time on retention and churn. So you see how basically anything that you spend your time on, you can automate in a custom workflow like this. And all this is is literally, it's like a webpage, right? It's a webpage powered by AI, where you've got Astra 6 plugged into it, and Astra 6 created it. And then, you know, if there's anything that we don't like here, let's say, for example, I want to change this bit, or I want to change UI, or I want to change the look and feel of it, etc.
