AI Dashboard Builder for Independent Publishers
A dashboard for independent publishers without a BI tool or a consultant. Say which figures you want to see; Mythex builds the charts, the filters and the export.
Who it's for
Owners and managers of independent publishers who rebuild the same summary in a spreadsheet at the end of every month.
What you can build
- KPI cards for the figures your independent publisher lives on
- A trend chart over time, by week or by month
- A breakdown by category, across print books and ebooks
- A filterable table of the underlying records
- A CSV import, so it runs on the data you already keep
How independent publishers work
An independent publisher runs on a list: a handful of titles a year, each with a publication date set many months ahead, a print run, an ebook and sometimes an audiobook. Books reach readers through a distributor, bookshops, online retailers, festivals and the publisher's own site. Behind the scenes sit manuscripts in editing, ISBNs, metadata feeds, review copies and author events. Twice a year, royalty statements are pieced together from distributor spreadsheets. Software helps by holding one record per title that sales, stock and royalties all draw from.
What dashboard for Independent Publishers has to handle
- Sales should be shown per title, per format and per channel for each period.
- Royalties owed per author must be calculated from those sales and each contract's rates.
- Stock on hand should be compared with sales pace to warn when a reprint is due.
- Backlist earnings should be visible next to new titles.
A tip for independent publishers
Load each distributor sales report into the dashboard as it arrives rather than twice a year. Royalty statements then take an afternoon instead of a week, and you spot a title selling faster than expected in time to reprint.
A prompt to start from
Build a dashboard for an independent publisher. Show KPI cards for the key totals, a line chart of the trend over time, a bar chart broken down by category, and a filterable table of records with title, author, ISBN and publication date. Add a date-range filter, a CSV import to load my existing data, and an export. Use a database and seed it with realistic sample data so I can see it working.
Questions
Can a dashboard work out author royalties?
Yes, if you import your sales data and enter each contract's royalty rates. It can then total what each author has earned per period.
Can it use my own data?
Yes. Start on sample data so you can see the layout, then ask for a CSV import or for the app to read the data another project already stores.
Can I share it with the team?
Publish it and send the URL. Ask for login if the numbers should not be public, and Mythex adds accounts to the published app.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the code, shows a live preview, and lets you change things by chatting. The code editor and terminal are there if you ever want them.
Do I have to explain my business every time?
No. Mythex remembers who you are and how you work across every project, and follows the standing notes you set for a project, so you are not re-briefing it in each new chat. You can read, edit or switch all of it off.
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan with daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds full code editing, GitHub export, custom domains, and credit top-ups.
