GPT-6 Astra Work Audit Prompt: Find Your Weekly Repetitive PC Tasks and Rank Them for Automation
A faithful translation of the hands-on prompt shared by X user @josesilesdata. Select Work mode and GPT-6 Astra in ChatGPT, audit your weekly work, and score ea
The original author is X user José Siles (@josesilesdata), who shared this prompt in a post dated October 2, 2026. It combines ChatGPT's Work mode with the GPT-6 Astra model to audit repetitive PC work done every week.

The point of the prompt is diagnosis, not idea generation. It scans repetitive work — emails, documents, spreadsheets, meetings, messages, reports, research, admin tasks, project management, data entry, follow-ups, scheduling — within whatever scope the user grants access to, then asks for per-task time savings, required tools, apps to connect via MCP, failure modes, parts that still need human review, the easiest way to test, and exact setup steps. Finally it sorts opportunities by time saved, ease of implementation, low risk, and high ROI, picks the top three tasks AI should take over first, and helps set up the first one.
How to use it
The author's steps are as follows.
- Open ChatGPT.
- Select Work.
- Choose GPT-6 Astra.
- Paste the full prompt below.
- When the model asks you to connect apps via MCP, connect only what it needs to understand your work.
- Answer its follow-up questions where anything is unclear.
Full prompt (translated from the Spanish original)
Look at the work I do every week.
Review everything I do on my computer: emails, documents, spreadsheets, meetings, messages, reports, research, admin tasks, project management, data entry, follow-ups, planning, and any repetitive work you can access.
Find tasks that AI — or you — could do on my behalf.
For each task, tell me:
- How much time it could save me
- What tools I need
- What apps I need to connect via MCP
- What could go wrong
- What still needs human review
- The easiest way to test it
- Exactly how to set it up
Don't just give me obvious AI ideas.
Look for repetitive work, multi-step flows, copying information between apps, recurring reports, chasing people, updating systems, checking websites, reformatting information, research, meeting follow-ups, and anything else I repeat on my computer.
Ask me to connect any app you need via MCP so you properly understand my work.
Use any skill, tool, plugin, automation, script, browser action, spreadsheet workflow, or integration that can help you get the job done.
Review all of it.
Then rank the opportunities by:
- Biggest time savings
- Easiest to implement
- Lowest risk
- Highest ROI
At the end, show me the 3 things AI should take over first, and help me set up the first one.
If you are unsure about anything or need clarification, ask me questions.
Now do your thing.
The translation preserves the sentence order and item structure of the Spanish original. No steps were merged or added.
Practical notes and caveats
Keep the four ranking criteria (time saved, ease of implementation, low risk, high ROI) intact — that is the working part of this prompt. If the model returns generic ideas, point it back to the concrete repetition types in the original instruction: multi-step flows, copying between apps, recurring reports, chasing people, system updates, web checks, reformatting, and meeting follow-ups.
The limits are clear. The post guarantees no time-savings figures or success rates, and the replies so far are mostly "I'll try it." Limit MCP connections to apps needed for understanding the work, check permissions, failure modes, and human-review points per item, and start small with the first automation.
