Author finds GPT-6 Astra speeds legal and meeting prep, but notes hallucinations

Meeting preparation dropped from one hour to fifteen minutes, freeing more than 20 hours per month across three weekly meetings. Competitor‑research that previously required a full day was completed in two hours, and summarising incoming English emails took about thirty seconds, eliminating language‑delay friction. The author also praised multimodal features, such as spotting errors in Excel screenshots, and real‑time voice summarisation during meetings.

However, hallucinations remain a problem; a fabricated 2025 market size of ¥2.3 trillion was later disproved. Costs can rise quickly, especially when heavy usage pushes monthly AI bills above expectations, prompting the author to consider cheaper alternatives like Microsoft’s Decision‑1 for simple tasks. The author concludes that mastering AI as a thinking partner, rather than just a text generator, is essential.
