Mythos has two main screens. The dashboard is where you start projects and find the ones you already have. The workspace is where a single project lives — you build and edit it there, with a chat conversation on the left and a live preview (or the code editor) on the right. This page is a tour of both.
Cost: each accepted Plan AI turn costs 1 credit, starting a new Build costs 3, and each edit costs 2. Failed Plan turns and failed Builds are refunded. New accounts start with 5 free credits. See Credits & pricing.

​
Dashboard vs workspace

  • The dashboard (/dashboard) is your home base — a greeting, the prompt box, and a tray of your projects and templates.
  • The workspace (/workspace/<id>) is one project open for work — chat on the left, preview or code on the right.
You reach the workspace by starting a new project from the prompt box, or by opening an existing one from the tray.

​
The dashboard

When you sign in, you land on the dashboard. It has three parts: the prompt box, the project tray, and the sidebar.

​
The prompt box

At the top of the dashboard is the prompt box — the single starting point for a new project. Type what you want to build and send it; Mythos creates the project and takes you into its workspace. The prompt box has a few controls:
  • Plan toggle — turn on Plan to have Mythos ask a few questions and show you a plan before it writes any code. Off by default. See Build vs Plan below.
  • Voice input — dictate your prompt instead of typing.
A first prompt to try:
Name the sections you want and the tone in your first prompt. A clear first prompt often gets you there in one build instead of several edits. See Writing good prompts.

​
The project tray

Below the prompt box, the tray shows your work as cards. A segmented control switches between two tabs:
  • My projects — the projects you’ve built. Each card links into that project’s workspace.
  • Mythos templates — ready-made starters you can remix into a new project.
The tray shows your most recent few; Browse all opens the full list. Each project card has a menu (the ⋯ button) to open the project in a new tab, jump to its settings, or delete it.
Deleting a project is permanent — it removes the project’s code and history and cannot be undone. Your credits are not affected by a deletion. Mythos asks you to type the project name to confirm.

​
The sidebar

The left sidebar is your navigation. It holds:
  • Dashboard — back to this home screen.
  • Search (⌘K / Ctrl+K) — jump to any project by name.
  • Share Mythos — your referral link.
  • All projects and Templates — the full lists.
  • Recents — your most recently opened projects.
  • The account menu at the bottom — your profile, billing, documentation, support, and sign out.

​
The workspace

Opening a project — or starting a new one — takes you to its workspace. The layout is two columns:
  • Left: chat. The conversation with Mythos. You describe what to build or change here, and watch progress stream as it works.
  • Right: preview / code. A live preview of the running app. You can switch this side to the code editor when you want to change files directly.

​
Build vs Plan mode

Every new-project prompt starts in one of two modes, set by the Plan toggle:
  • Build (default) — Mythos goes straight to writing code. Fastest path from prompt to preview.
  • Plan — before writing any code, Mythos asks focused questions and saves a durable, editable plan draft for you to approve. Only then does it start the normal Build.
Each accepted Plan AI turn costs 1 credit after its response is saved. A failed turn is refunded; editing and saving the draft locally or approving it does not spend another Plan credit. The Build after approval is charged separately. Plan mode is best for a first build where the scope needs to be settled; Build mode is best when you already know what you want. See Plan mode for the full flow.
On the dashboard prompt box, the Plan toggle starts the new project in its planning session. After the project is built, use Build mode in the workspace for edits.

​
How a build looks while it runs

When you send a prompt, the chat shows the build in progress and then a result. Generation is asynchronous, so you wait through a few states: Every generation ends in exactly one of two outcomes: a delivered result, or a clean message plus a full refund. You are only charged when a build delivers.

​
Good to know

  • The dashboard prompt box always starts a new project. To change an existing project, open it from the tray and prompt inside its workspace.
  • The workspace IDE works on desktop. On a small screen the code editor is not available — build and edit by chat instead.
  • Each project is a real, private Git repository, and building and editing are commits in it. Connect your GitHub account so Mythos can create a new private repository you own and keep one selected active branch in two-way sync. Mythos also keeps its managed canonical build history.

FAQ

The dashboard is where you start projects and see all of them. The workspace is a single project open for work, with chat on the left and a preview or the code editor on the right.
Open it from the project tray (or Recents in the sidebar) to enter its workspace, then describe the change in chat. Editing happens inside the project, not from the dashboard prompt box.
For a new project, it switches between Build mode (straight to code) and Plan mode (focused questions, an editable plan draft, and approval before code). Each accepted Plan AI turn costs 1 credit; failed turns are refunded, and the Build is charged separately.
Every generated project uses React 19, Vite 7, and Tailwind CSS. There is no framework setup to choose before your first prompt.
No. Deleting removes the project’s code and history permanently. Your credits are not affected, and Mythos asks you to type the project name to confirm.
