Users can book train tickets via IRCTC. However, many are currently facing difficulties doing so, largely due to the high demand surrounding the Diwali and Chhath festivals. Amidst this, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra has stepped in to book tickets on IRCTC. A new viral video has sparked a conversation about the potential of AI assistants to go beyond merely answering questions and actually perform tasks. An Instagram creator conducted a recent experiment involving GPT-6 Astra.

**Instagram Creator Tests GPT-6 Astra**
The Instagram creator tested this AI model over a period of two to three days. Following the initial tests, they decided to see if the AI ​​could handle a task that typically requires users to visit a booking platform themselves. To test this, they attempted to book a train ticket via the IRCTC website.

In the video, the creator revealed that the experiment was a complete success; GPT-6 Astra successfully completed the entire train ticket booking process. The creator admitted that the outcome took them by surprise. This experiment offers a glimpse into the future of AI, showing how it could evolve from simply accepting instructions to actively executing tasks. The idea for the experiment arose when someone asked the creator a simple question: "Can this AI tool book an IRCTC ticket?" This prompted the creator to test GPT-6 Astra themselves.

**Booked a Mumbai-Rajkot Train Ticket**
In the Instagram video, the creator showcased the experiment and claimed that the AI ​​successfully booked a Mumbai-Rajkot train ticket through IRCTC. The creator expressed astonishment at the result. This experiment goes beyond the simple act of booking a single train ticket; it serves as compelling evidence of what AI assistants can achieve when capable of taking direct action based on user requests.

For the average user, this signals a major shift in how AI can be utilized. Instead of simply telling you how to book a train, an AI capable of executing the entire process itself can handle many of the complex tasks and steps involved. However, the creator's post does not provide detailed information regarding the specific ticket details, the payment process, or exactly how the booking was completed.
