The BuildMidas handbook: a map of the platform

This is the orientation chapter of an ongoing handbook series: a walking tour of the dashboard, in roughly the order a new account meets it. Bookmark it; the deeper chapters link from here as they're published.

The builder block

AI Builder is the chat where products get made — type an idea, approve a plan, watch the build. My Builds is the library of everything you've generated, filterable by type, each card jumping back to its chat. My Games is the games-only view with play modes and publish state. Templates holds builds you've saved as reusable starting points, and Showcase is the public gallery of featured builds.

The distribution block

Published lists what's live on your free subdomains. Shipped tracks app-store submissions with per-store status. Domain Management is where your own domains connect — both for deploys and for the analytics pairing below.

The measurement block

Search Performance (Google Search Console data), Google Analytics, and Store Analytics fill up once you connect the corresponding accounts — the daily sync and the optimization agents read from here. Discovery is the research workload: Opportunity Briefs arrive with Build-this buttons attached.

The two ever-present helpers

The Ask-AI assistant (the floating button, everywhere) answers questions and can operate the platform directly — it's the fastest "how do I…" shortcut there is. And the globe in the navigation switches the interface among twenty languages, mid-page.

The order that works: build something small in AI Builder first — before reading anything else. The rest of the dashboard makes sense the moment there's a real build of yours sitting in it.
