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: starting a new project costs 3 credits; each edit costs 2. 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:
  • Stack picker — choose React (Vite) or Next.js for the new project. React is the default.
  • 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: 
Create a landing page for a coffee roaster called North Slope —
hero, our beans, wholesale, and a contact form. Warm, minimal look.
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.
  • Skills — manage the skills the agent can use when building.
  • 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 prompt runs 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 a few clarifying questions, shows up to three rendered design directions to choose from, and presents a short plan for you to approve. Only then does it build.
Planning itself is free — you answer questions and approve a plan at no cost, and only spend credits when the build actually runs. Plan mode is best for a first build where the direction matters; Build mode is best for quick edits and when you already know what you want. See Plan mode for the full flow.
On the dashboard prompt box, the Plan toggle carries into the new project’s first generation. In the workspace you can switch between Build and Plan for each new message.

​
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:
StateWhat you seeWhat you do
BuildingA live progress card in the chatWait — a single page is usually a minute or two
DeliveredA result card, and the preview updatesOpen the preview, then iterate or publish
RefundedA short message that something went wrong, credits backRe-prompt — you were not charged
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 once and you can export a clean copy that is yours. (Mythos keeps its own internal build copy.)

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.
It switches the next build between Build mode (straight to code) and Plan mode (questions, a few design directions, and a plan you approve first). Planning is free; you only spend credits on the build.
Yes. The prompt box has a stack picker — choose React (Vite) or Next.js before you send 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.
