Make's latest update brings a new model option for builders running heavier automations, the kind that need more than a one-line answer. Here's what changed.

GPT-6 Astra

OpenAI's most capable model, GPT-6 Astra, is now available inside Make, according to Make's LinkedIn post. It's accessible in Make AI Agents, Make AI Toolkit, and the native OpenAI (ChatGPT) app, and is aimed at workflows that need to investigate complex cases, reason across source material, prepare decision-ready outputs, and coordinate multistep work, with Make handling the routing, system updates, and approvals around it. This follows Make's recent addition of Claude Fable 5.1, giving builders another model choice depending on the task at hand.

The AI-Native Solopreneur: Build Without a Technical Co-Founder

Effie Bersoux presents a paradigm shift in entrepreneurship where AI enables solo founders to build, validate, and scale businesses without technical co-founders or significant capital. Drawing from Growth Girls' experience building 40+ companies in one year and going from a £4m exit (7 years) to a £40m acquisition target (1 year), she demonstrates how AI breaks the traditional capital-talent-traction loop that disadvantages undercapitalized founders. The talk provides concrete frameworks for AI-native operating models, automation decision-making, and rapid idea-to-market validation.

The Mindset Shift That's Creating AI Native Companies

Former HMRC Deputy IT Director Ashraf Murtada shares a framework for understanding AI maturity through three levels: AI Assistance (demanding specific outputs), AI Agents (autonomous systems like Team Brain that join meetings and generate documentation), and AI Coding (building complete applications in hours instead of months). The presentation includes live demos of games, internal tools, and SaaS products built rapidly with AI, arguing that software development is becoming commoditized and traditional MVP timelines are collapsing from 6 months to 6 weeks.
