I Gave GPT-6 Astra Control of My Social Media (INSANE Results!)

Summary

The presenter demonstrates a social-media workflow built around GPT-6 Astra in the ChatGPT Codex app. The setup combines tools connected through MCP integrations to automate research, asset creation, writing, and posting.

Workflow and tools

1. Set up Codex

   • Use a local project folder to keep the workflow’s files together.
   • Select GPT-6 Astra. The presenter recommends “Extra High” for research and other complex tasks.

2. Connect Higgsfield

   • The presenter uses Higgsfield MCP to generate visual assets, particularly carousel images, and says it also offers video- and audio-generation options.
   • They demonstrate an Instagram- or LinkedIn-style carousel and show a generated set of seven slides.

3. Provide brand context

   • A downloadable social carousel skills.md file provides instructions for asking about a business and creating content tailored to its niche.
   • The presenter emphasizes adding a brand voice, either by providing an existing brand-voice file or letting the system gather information, so posts match the creator’s style.
   • The skill can also guide platform-specific captions, such as longer copy for LinkedIn and shorter copy for Instagram.

4. Connect social accounts through Blotato

   • Blotato is used to connect social profiles and publish content. The presenter says it supports up to nine platforms and demonstrates connecting accounts through its settings.
   • They then connect Blotato to Astra using an MCP URL and authorization.
   • In the demonstration, Astra publishes the carousel to LinkedIn and Instagram. The presenter checks the posts and reports that all seven slides were published and verified on both platforms. Posting to other connected platforms is described as possible but is not demonstrated.

5. Use and schedule the workflow

   • Once configured, the creator can provide a topic and ask Astra to create and publish a post, or schedule different content for different times—for example, a carousel in the morning and a video later.
   • The presenter recommends reviewing the output weekly and adjusting the brand context or instructions as needed.

Additional features and claims

• The presenter describes Blotato’s automated direct messages, which can send a reply and resource link when someone comments with specified keywords. This feature is discussed separately from the carousel-publishing test.
• The presenter cites an example post that allegedly received 3.5 million views, 247,000 likes, and 2,500 comments, attributing its growth strategy in part to automated messaging.
• Jarvis, the presenter’s separate AI assistant, is shown briefly. The presenter says it can access business files and help with tasks such as organizing knowledge, schedules, and documents. Jarvis is not required for the carousel workflow.

Guide and tutorial steps

• Set up a Codex project and choose GPT-6 Astra.
• Connect Higgsfield MCP to create media assets.
• Use the carousel skill file and provide brand-voice context.
• Connect social profiles in Blotato and authorize its MCP connection.
• Generate a carousel, review it, and publish it to selected platforms.
• Optionally configure keyword-triggered DMs and schedule future posts.
