# Dashboard

The dashboard shows everything you need to move your venture forward.

It loads when you log in and gives you a live view of where you are, what's next, and what tools are available to you.

## Progress ring

The ring in the center tracks your progress across all three build pillars - Idea, Brand, and Launch.

Each pillar has its own segment. As you complete tasks, the segments fill in. Click a segment to jump directly to that pillar.

If you've been away for a while and can't remember where you left off, the ring tells you instantly.

## Your venture

The panel next to the ring shows your venture name and current positioning statement.

If you haven't started yet, you'll see two options:

- **I have an idea** - enter a description and start the first task immediately
- **Find ideas for me** - get a shortlist of AI-generated business concepts based on your profile

## Tools

The tools panel shows every integration available and its current status.

Connected tools open straight into the agent chat. Unconnected tools walk you through the sign-in process. The status indicator - Connected or Ready - tells you where each one stands without clicking anything.

## Media Lab

Click the Media Lab tile to access image and video generation. Useful when you need brand visuals, social content, or product photography.

## Smart actions

The smart actions panel surfaces relevant next steps based on where you are in your venture.

Early on: "Start your first task." After the Idea pillar: "Move to Brand." After the Launch pillar: "Export to Lovable." The actions change as your venture progresses - you won't have to figure out what to do next.

## Sidebar

The sidebar is always accessible and gives you navigation to:

- **Dashboard** - return to this view
- **Chat** - open the AI chat
- **Library** - browse your artifacts and generated media

You can also navigate directly to any pillar or task from the sidebar without going through the dashboard.
