New Delhi. The application of artificial intelligence in our daily lives is expanding so rapidly that in the near future, tasks might be completed simply by giving a verbal command to a digital assistant. The recent AI model Astra has made a direct entry into the utility sector, showcasing its capability to assist with routine chores. A short time ago, Astra demonstrated the feat of booking train tickets on social media, and it has now paid an electricity bill and presented the receipt based on a single prompt. Here is a detailed look at how this AI model operates and the various tasks it can perform.
Viral Demonstration on Social Media
A post circulating on social media reveals that the GPT-6 AI agent Astra successfully booked a railway ticket using just a single prompt. Not only that, but it also settled an electricity bill and provided the corresponding receipt. The user who shared the post explained that they merely instructed the system that an electricity bill needed to be paid. Following this prompt, the AI agent immediately cleared the utility bill and handed the receipt over to the user without requiring any further manual intervention.
Real World Application Shared by Users
In a viral video making rounds online, a woman recounts how her friend managed to book a train ticket through IRCTC without even touching her device by utilizing the GPT-6 Astra framework. Inspired by this convenience, she decided to pay her electricity bill through a government portal and gave a corresponding prompt to her AI agent. Subsequently, with the help of the AI, she not only successfully paid her bill through the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company portal but also retrieved the official payment receipt.
How Prompts Are Given to the AI Agent
According to the shared posts online, when giving a prompt to an AI agent for paying an electricity bill, users must ensure the instructions are given in clear terms. This includes specifying the consumer number, the payment process, and the steps to be followed on the target website. As soon as the prompt is completed, the AI opens the official website, enters the consumer number, solves the captcha, and inputs the bill amount. It then navigates to the terms and conditions page, checks the required boxes, and reaches the final payment gateway. From there, it scans the QR code, debits the funds from the user's preferred payment mode, and downloads the receipt once the transaction is finalized.
