[0:00] So, I'm 100% convinced Chat GPT work with Astra 6 is like the most powerful tool out there right now. I know what you're saying, Alex. Just 2 weeks ago you said Grok Bot's the most powerful tool for work ever. Trust me, I'm going to go through the differences. There's reasons you want to use each, but I am

[0:16] absolutely blown away by Chat GPT work. You need to be using it. You need to be using it every day. What I'm going to show you is exactly how you should be using it, how you can get the most out of Chat GPT work with Astra 6, what you need to set up, some secrets I figured out that I haven't seen anyone else talk about, and then show you how it fits in with all the other tools you have. I mean, check this out. Look what it's doing right now. I have it doing like 20 different things. So, first of all, the coolest thing I have it doing is

[0:44] actually editing my next video you're going to watch after this. It is, as we speak, editing this video uh inside of DaVinci Resolve. This is This is just going on on the side here. It's just editing, changing the color, changing everything on top of it. That's just cool. That's besides the point though. That's That's amazing it's doing that. I have it doing many other cool things. I mean, I'll go through like the

[1:05] tips of exactly what you need to set up. I just want to show you a few cool examples. So, the company that supports this channel the most, HubSpot, I have a couple more integrations with them over the next few months. I need a script written for another integration I'm doing with them, so I said, "Hey, check my email inbox. Go through every sponsorship I've ever done. Read all the scripts. Check out the brief on what they want me to cover. Check out the product. Give me a script on how I can use it, how I can get more out of it, and then give me a script I can send to

[1:34] them, and then just send that directly to them." And it did this whole unbelievably long process where it went through my entire business inbox. It read every email correspondence I've done with every business I've ever worked with on sponsorships. It went looked through all the attachments on like every script I've done with them, and then went through this other sponsorship, looked at what they want me to talk about, and like wrote an entire script based on those other scripts, and walked through like every single thing I need to show on screen, and then even autonomously sent the email back with like the script and everything to get

[2:11] the approval. All by its This literally, I'm not even joking, this one use case I just showed you saved like 4 hours of my time. I'm not joking. Like 4 hours. And I get what you're thinking, well, I don't have a YouTube channel. I don't I do sponsorships. Things like I need you to bear with me here. I know you don't do this, but this is what I do. You this could be many different things. If you're anything like me, you absolutely hate reading your email inbox. You hate I just hate email. I don't know what it is. Slack, email, I hate it, I hate it,

[2:38] I hate it. ChatGPT Work for the first time ever just manages that all for me. It checks my inbox hourly, comes back to me, and says, "Hey, here's what you need to take care of. Do you want me to send this email for you?" And it just works. It just does it so so well. It's unbelievable. So, it's editing videos

[2:57] for me, saving me like 2 hours there. It's responding to requests in my email inbox for me, saving a bunch of time there. I'm doing a boot camp in my community in half an hour from filming right now on local AI. It's It's creating uh images and visuals for me to show to show in the boot camp how local AI works. This is like another hour saved right here. It's all going on simultaneously, too. And then on top of that, I have it generating the video game I'm building. More on that soon. I think you're going to like

[3:28] this one. Uh it's unbelievable. Basically, all my knowledge work's being taken care of. And I've used like ChatGPT Work before. There's a reason why there's not a single ChatGPT Work video on this channel whatsoever. And that's because like I just I use it, but I wasn't impressed. I didn't find it that interesting. Like if I'm going to talk to an AI and I have questions, I'll go to regular ChatGPT. If I want to write code and get things done, I'll go to CodeX. I didn't really see the value

[3:54] in having it like go through my emails. I just didn't think it was good enough at that. Chat GPT-6 Astra is like that it crossed the chasm. It's like, "Okay, actually, this is wildly helpful." I think there's a few reasons for that. Before I get into it, I'll show you how to set it up everything in a second. This for the first time this model is the best at computer use of any AI model out there. It is faster at using computers than human beings are. It uses my computer faster than I can. And I think that's a reason why I didn't really use Chat GPT work before or

[4:24] Claude co-worker. There's no Claude co-work videos on this channel. I just like I thought it was worse at using computers than me. So, I just wanted to do it myself. For the first time ever, we have a model I wish you could see what's going on here in DaVinci Resolve. Like it's just going through it editing and changing. It's This is all happening at the same time

[4:42] and doing it so much faster than me. Anyway, what I was saying was for the first time ever, we have an AI model that is better at using computers than human beings. Now, I think there's a lot of secondary and tertiary effects of that fact. I won't get into those just yet. But for the first time, it's so good that I think you truly need to be using Chat GPT work. I never used it before. I didn't like it. You should be using it now. It's better at using computers than you. And what that means for you is you can save an outrageous amount of time. And I'll get into the

[5:13] setup in a second here. But just one last note here why I think this is worth your time and investment to use. One, it saves time. Two, you do less things you hate. Like this is kind of the beauty of AI overall. And this is like the new world we unlock. Like ignore the doomers. Ignore the people going nuts and saying AI is going to kill everyone. Shut up. Ignore them. AI is beautiful. It lets you do less things you hate, which for me is editing videos, which for me is reading my emails, which for me is reading my slacks. Chat GPT work now takes care of

[5:46] all those things. It allows you do more things you love. I can do way more things I love now. I've spent the last few days doing nothing uh but building Henry intelligent machines. I've done nothing but build this new video game I'm going to put out soon, which I absolutely love. It just allowed me to be creative. And like that's the beauty of AI. The stuff you hate, AI takes care of it. The stuff you love, you can now just focus completely on it. And that's what like Chat GPT work over last few days with 6 Astra has just been mind-blowing for me. So, let's talk

[6:15] about it. Let's talk about how to set it up. I'll show you the steps and the most use cases I just showed you. I'll show you the plugins, everything. Let's just get straight into it. So, the first thing you need to do is have the right sources of data going into your Chat GPT work. So, like for writing the script and like checking my email, obviously you need to connect your email. So, what you're going to want to do is you're

[6:36] going to want to go to plugins up here. And here are the plugins you're going to want to install. Number one is Gmail. I think the number one objection I'm going to get to this is, "Alex, I don't want Sam Altman reading my emails." And listen, I had that hesitancy before. I've waited up to this point to connect my AIs to email. I was hesitant about it. I thought I was like giving away my privacy. Here's what it comes down to is the efficiency unlocks by having your AI manage and run everything in your email is mind-blowing. It saves me legitimately hours a day. It helps me

[7:12] get significantly more done. It's closed me business, right? I'm not missing any opportunities in my email now. It's worth it. You should connect your email. You officially should do it. I don't think the AI companies are reading your emails. Like I don't think Sam Altman's in there reading all your emails from your mom. The productivity unlocks are

[7:29] unbelievable. I think it's worth it. Now, for those who've been holding out, I've done it. I was hesitant. I've done it. I think it's worth it. And what's great in Chat GPT now is you can attach multiple accounts. So, I have my business and personal account attached, which is great. Slack, if you're a Slack person, if you do work like me, I absolutely loathe using Slack. I absolutely loathe the Slack notification sound. I that little sound it does, I hate it. It gives me agita. I just let Open AI handle it. Now, ChatGPT Work handles all of it for me, so you should connect Slack as well. Open AI Developers is a

[8:01] great one to attach. It allows basically your ChatGPT to create and use uh ChatGPT API keys whenever it wants. So, if you're building things, if you like to build a lot of apps, that one's a great one cuz it can just create its own API keys for itself. Unity, if you're If you're like me, you're like a big old nerd, you should have Unity installed as well, so ChatGPT Work can build games for you, visual stuff like that. That's awesome. And then I like Linear and Notion. This allows you to do a lot of project management stuff. So, ChatGPT

[8:29] Work can track a lot of what it does. And last one here, GitHub, obviously, so it can pull down code, work on code for you, stuff like that. Get those installed and you'll be in a really good place. Now you have your data sources coming in, so that ChatGPT Work can actually do work for you in the places you work. Now you want to get like the right context and data into ChatGPT, right? So, it has places to work. Next, you it needs to know more about you so it can do better work. So, what you want to do for that is you want to create

[8:58] projects for all the different areas in your life, right? So, projects are in the ChatGPT section here and just keeps context kind of in its correct silo. So, it makes it easier for your work agents to do work. So, like I have my business one. This is the one where it was all about my business, sponsorships, videos, things like that. Now all my agents in here have the proper context. They can all work together and know what they're working on. So, create projects for every area of your life. I have one for my business. I have one for different apps I'm building. If you have the right

[9:30] context, then your agents can do better work. Next, you want to set up routines. These are like the cron jobs of ChatGPT Work. I find this especially helpful for email stuff. I wanted to check my email every so often. So I say, "Hey, set up a routine where you check my business email account every morning, alert me of any immediate action items, and write me a draft response." This is how I like to work where I have it write draft responses and put it in the drafts folder. I'm not having it autonomously send the emails yet, but I have it create drafts for every single person

[10:02] that emails me. And then I just go in and I click send, send, send, delete, send, delete, send, delete in the morning and it just kind of fires them off. Hours of work responding to people, it just takes care of for me. So have it drop drafts into your drafts folder and then you can go there, read it, and approve and have it sent off. So you want to set up these routines based on the things you do. To set up routines, you just say, "Hey, create a routine that does this." Better yet, if you can't think of any routines, do the brain dump to reverse prompt strategy I

[10:31] give out. This is my number one patented strategy. Brain dump everything about yourself into chat GPT work. Then say, "Hey, based on what you know about me, what are some of the best routines we can set up?" And then it'll come up with the routines for you. I wish AI companies would like make this the kind of user experience where instead of having to do that, just like automatically, proactively comes up with those routines. You don't have to ask them. They say, "Hey, by the way, I think you should do this in routines." I

[10:58] wish they'd do that maybe sometime soon. Open AI, if you're watching this, call me. I'll help you out. By the way, I know I'm doing this kind of work. I was just super inspired and fired up my camera to do this. By the way, to do work, you switch to the work tab here. So when you're in a new chat, click work. It's not in chat. You do it in work. That's where it'll like more proactively go into your plugins and your data sources. It also, when it's in

[11:18] work, it can get its own cloud computer. So it can like do work on its own in the cloud, which is really sweet as well. Also, the computer use is amazing, by the way. I know I'm jumping around here a lot, but bear with me. I'm just excited about this. The The use is amazing. It's doing all of through like computer use on my computer, clicking around. I have like five different cursors on the other monitor with Chat GPT clicking around doing things, which is amazing. So, you have projects set up which have the right context. You have the plugins so that it can actually do

[11:44] work in the places you do work like email and Slack and all of that. You have routine set up so it can work for you autonomously. But, now it's actually time to go in and start doing work with it. How do you do that? What should you do from here? And by the way, in a second I'll go over some bonus tips, things after that. I just kind of want to show you the core, using what your mindset should be cuz I actually think mindset of working with these AI tools is as important as the tool itself. I think the biggest issue people have with tools like this, Chat GPT work, is they

[12:13] kind of get blank canvas syndrome. Just made that term up. But, it's the it's the issue a lot of human beings have when they get blank canvases, which you can do anything you want and they kind of just do nothing cuz they can't think of anything to do. Here's how you solve that. Here's how you solve blank canvas syndrome, which is an issue I had when using this tool before. What you need to do is challenge yourself. And this is something I did 3 days ago and it totally changed my workflows and how I work. Now I'm getting way more done. You need to challenge yourself and just

[12:41] choose a day next week. Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's right now. Whatever you want to do, choose a day and make it so that entire day, everything you do on your computer, you do it through Chat GPT work. I'm not kidding. Every email you send, every time you check Twitter, every time you do anything, do it through Chat GPT work. Every time you have to create a document, every time you have to respond to someone in Slack, anytime you have to create a presentation, anytime you have to check for a piece of information online, do it through Chat GPT work. I did this challenge 3 days ago and it completely

[13:14] blew my mind. It was the most productive day in my entire life and I'm not just saying that. I mean that. So, for instance, I'm working on this game. I need to test it. They just added a whole bunch of weapons to it last night while I was sleeping. I need to test it. Well, I'm not going to test it myself. I'm going to have ChatGPT work go and test it for me with its computer use. So, I'll say, "My game code name's Null District is up on my computer. Please test it and see if all the weapons work

[13:45] in it and the artwork looks good." And I'm going to hit enter on that. And ChatGPT work will start doing computer use on this game I'm working on. And it should go through and start actually testing the game out. So, instead of me having to sit here test it play which for video game, yeah, you you want to test it yourself. You want to make sure it's fun. But I'm using this as an example. Now I got the agent going off doing that work for me. So, now I can go

[14:11] in and start the next task I need to do. So, I can spin up a new agent in my business and I can say, "Check my business email and let me know anything I need to respond to." I hit enter on that. Now sent off doing that. If you build this mindset of like everything I do, I need to do it through ChatGPT work, one, you'll be way more productive, but two, I guarantee you you're like kind of blown away by what it's actually capable of because it is capable of way more than you can possibly imagine. Astra 6 is like, I think potentially the greatest

[14:47] technology ever created. Like I'm just like so blown away by it. But it can do anything a human being can do on a computer. Like I think that's really where OpenAI is winning now is they clearly are training their models on computer use. They're training their models on how human beings use computers. I don't think Anthropic's doing that. Like they just released like

[15:08] background computer use 3 days ago. That's something OpenAI released back in May. Right? So, I think OpenAI really put a huge bet on computer use. And now that bet is paying off cuz I can't imagine doing my work any other way. It's going through all my Gmail now. At the same time, I'll show you this. It's now testing the game. Uh I'll make the I just dragged the game over. I hope ChatGPT doesn't get confused. I hope its cursor comes back over here into the the screen share. You'll see second it's going to start clicking around. And now I have like my agent going checking on

[15:42] my email, responding to people. Another agent is playing around, testing my game, clicking around on things. Like I have so much going on. I'm able to multitask so good. It really is mind-blowing. So, take this challenge. As you can see, it's clear I'm not doing anything. Hands-free, baby. It's testing my game for me. It's replying to emails, doing all that. Here, if you do this challenge, I promise your life will change. Go into work mode 1 day, everything you do, do it in ChatGPT work. Everything. I'm talking

[16:11] everything. I guarantee you can do it, and I guarantee it'll do it much, much faster. I mean, this is amazing. It's clicking around. I'm playing the game. I I don't know. It's It's just like Maybe maybe I'm just like a dork or something, but I find that so mind-blowing. So, when should you use this? When should you use Grok Bot? I think that's a big question cuz I think there's a lot of overlap between this and Grok Bot. I will say this, Astra 6 is the smartest, most intelligent model I've ever used in my entire life. It is the number one out

[16:39] there. I don't think there's any debate. I think if you're watching this, you probably agree with me. So, here's how I kind of split my work now. I still actually like the Grok Bot like multi-agent setup like the most out of all this. But, because this is so intelligent, Astra 6, any sort of complex knowledge work you need to do, it has to be done in ChatGPT work. Then, for more of the simple work, checking my PRs, reviewing PRs for things I'm building, checking on different agents, really simple knowledge work, I'm leaning a little bit more on Grok Bot just cuz I have my agent set up in a

[17:11] really nice way that I really like. But, I do have the work split up now kind of 50/50. I will say this for you, like find your routine that's good for you. You don't have to go by everything I say. If you just like Rock bot way better you like that interface, then stick with Rock bot. I'm just saying I fallen in love with chat GPT work and I'm figuring out my workflow of what I

[17:32] want to do with each kind of as I go. Find what works for you, find which task you like to do better in each and kind of stick with that and then change as it goes. Grock 47's probably dropping in the next few days. If that's way smarter than Astra, stick with that. You can be nimble as you go. You can use whatever tool you like the most. It's totally up to you, but I am like totally blown away by chat GPT work with Astra. They don't This is not a sponsored video. I just love this product.
