# Builder Overview

The Edgaze builder helps you turn an idea into a product people can run and pay for. You do not need to write orchestration code or wire up infrastructure first. You define the outcome, test it, then publish.

## The four surfaces

**Workflow Studio** is for multi-step products. You connect blocks on a canvas, configure them in the inspector, and ship a workflow that stays editable after launch.

**Prompt Studio** is for single-prompt products. One strong prompt, clear customer inputs, fast iteration.

**Templates** are guided starting points. You pick an outcome, answer a few setup questions, and land in Workflow Studio with a working graph you can still change.

**API Vault** stores your model provider keys in one secure place so your workflows can run on OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and similar providers without scattering secrets across nodes.

**Composer** lives inside Workflow Studio. It helps you describe changes in plain language and review proposed edits before they touch your canvas. Treat every suggestion as a draft until you have tested it.

## Which one to open first

If one prompt can do the whole job, start in **Prompt Studio**.

If the product needs several connected steps, branching, or post-processing, start in **Workflow Studio**.

If you know the result you want but not the graph, start with **Templates**.

Set up **API Vault** as soon as you want runs to use your own provider accounts reliably.

## The usual creator path

Most products follow the same arc: define what the customer provides, shape how the workflow transforms it, test with realistic input, then publish with a clear title and price.

The question to keep in front of you: **What does the customer get back, and why is that easier than doing it manually?**

## Three common shapes

**Single prompt**

```text
Customer input -> Prompt -> Result
```

Usually a Prompt Studio product.

**Guided workflow**

```text
Input -> Merge -> Prompt -> Model -> Output
```

Usually Workflow Studio or a template.

**Multi-input creative workflow**

```text
Several inputs -> Merge -> Optimise -> Generate -> Output
```

Common for templates like AI Art Creator.

```docsgraph
ai-art-creator
```

## If you are new here

Read this page once, then go where your product shape points you: [Workflow Studio](/docs/builder/workflow-studio) for full control, [Templates](/docs/builder/templates) for the fastest start, or [Prompt Studio](/docs/builder/prompt-studio) for lightweight prompt products. Read [API Vault](/docs/builder/api-vault) before you depend on your own provider keys.

## Before you publish

Strong Edgaze products are easy to understand at a glance.

Your title and description should name the outcome, not the technique. The customer should know what to enter and what they receive. If those answers are obvious, the builder work usually is too.

For pricing and earnings, see the [Billing guides](/docs/billing).
