The most interesting & ambitious things built on GPT-6 Astra (so far)

GPT-6 Astra shipped. I hunted it on Product Hunt. Then the timeline did what timelines do when a model this good lands.

People started building ridiculous things. Playable games. Three.js worlds. Blender houses. Unreal civilizations. PostHog dashboards that assemble themselves across three browser tabs.

I hunted the launch - details in I hunted GPT-6 Astra. It went #1 on Product Hunt. This post is the other half: a curated compilation of the most interesting and ambitious builds I saw in the first couple days.

Not ranked. Grouped by theme so you can skim. Links go to the original posts (and a couple official OpenAI showcases).

What I'm taking away

The jump isn't "AI can write code." We already knew that.

It's that Astra closes the loop - play the thing, complain about one detail, get a new build, play again. Riley Brown's COD-style demo is the clearest version of that. Akarsh's PostHog dashboards are the work version of the same idea.

If you're building in public right now and you're not stress-testing Astra on the hardest thing on your plate.. you're leaving free momentum on the table.

Got a wild Astra build I missed? Reply on @thisiskp_ and I'll add it.

Enjoyed this? I write KP's Column weekly for 6,500+ founders. And I genuinely read every reply - say hi at @thisiskp_.
