Your home screen โ quick actions, usage tracking, and optional AI configuration.
01Quick actions
Three cards to jump straight in
The Dashboard shows three action cards:
| Card | What it does | Goes to |
|---|---|---|
| Create Designs | Generate AI designs for your products | /create/designs |
| Create Mockups | Apply your designs to product mockups | /create/mockups |
| List Your Items | Push your products to marketplaces | /create/listings |
02MeshX Mind
Your built-in AI
Below the quick-action cards is an info box explaining MeshX Mind โ the collective name for MeshX's internal AI system. Key points:
- MeshX Mind powers idea generation, prompt enhancement, title/tag suggestions, and quote generation.
- It's included with your account at no extra cost.
- It runs on MeshX infrastructure โ no API key needed.
- You'll see it in action across Create Designs (prompt building), Text Only (quote generation), and Catalogue (title/tag suggestions).
03Gemini API key (optional)
Override MeshX Mind with Google Gemini
Click the ๐ Gemini API Key accordion to expand. This is optional โ you only need it if:
- You want to use Google's Gemini AI instead of MeshX Mind for text generation and prompt expansion.
- You want to use MeshX Imagen (Google's image generation model) โ this requires your own Gemini key.
How to set it up
- Get a free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.
- Paste it into the Paste Gemini API key field.
- Click Save.
- A green badge shows "Overriding MeshX Mind" with the last few characters of your key.
Click Remove at any time to revert to MeshX Mind.
Tip
There's a full setup guide in the app at Tutorials โ Gemini API key with billing and safety tips.
04Usage tracker
Monitor your daily & monthly limits
At the bottom of the Dashboard, the Usage Tracker component shows your current consumption vs. your plan limits:
- AI Generations โ image-based design jobs (Vault, Infinite, Forge, Art, Photorealism, Randomizer)
- Infinite โ MeshX Infinite jobs specifically (monthly cap)
- Text Only โ text design jobs
- Listings โ marketplace pushes this month
- Storage โ total storage used vs. your plan's cap
When a counter reaches its limit, the corresponding tool blocks new jobs until the counter resets (daily counters reset at midnight UTC, monthly at the 1st).
Upgrade
If you're regularly hitting limits, go to My Account in the sidebar to upgrade your plan. All plan tiers include every tool โ the difference is volume.
