# Launch Your Own AI Mode
# π Launch Your Own AI Mode on Dappier
Welcome to **AI Mode**, your own branded AI experience β powered by your content, customized with your brand, and deployed on your own domain.
With Dappier, you can launch your AI Mode in **just a few minutes**.\
All you need to do is create an **AI Agent**, sync your content, and configure your appearance and behavior settings.\
Once ready, your AI Mode can be deployed instantly on a Dappier-hosted link or on your own subdomain like **ask.yourdomain.com**.
This guide will walk you through every step of the process β from training your AI Agent to deploying your AI Mode live.
***
## **πͺ Step-by-Step Setup**
### **Step 1: Log into Dappier**
Head over to [platform.dappier.com](https://platform.dappier.com/) and log into your account.\
From the sidebar, click **My AI Agents** β this is where you can view, create, and manage all your AI Agents.
***
### **Step 2: Create a New Agent**
Click **Create New Agent** to start building your first AI-powered experience.
Your AI Agent is the brain behind your AI Mode β it determines what content it knows, how it responds, and how it behaves.
***
### Step 3: Add Your Content
Next, tell your AI Agent *what content to learn from*. You can sync data in three flexible ways:
1. **RSS Feed(s)** β Connect your content feeds for automated syncing. Ideal for blogs, news sites, or publishers who regularly post updates.
2. **Site URL** β Enter your websiteβs root URL to crawl and train the AI on your siteβs published pages.
3. **File Uploads (PDF/DOCX)** β Upload whitepapers, reports, manuals, or internal documents to train your agent with offline data.
***
### Step 4: Name Your Agent
Give your AI Agent a clear, recognizable name β this name will also appear across your AI Mode interface and dashboard.
### Step 5: Add a Description
Write a short summary describing what your AI Agent can do.\
This description helps users and team members understand the purpose of your agent.
Example: *βYour local news assistant for breaking stories, events, and weather updates.β*
### Step 6: Define Instructions & Persona
This is one of the most important steps β defining how your agent should *think and speak*.\
Your instructions act like a set of guardrails for your AI.
You can describe:
* The tone (friendly, professional, newsroom-style, casual, etc.)
* The scope (what topics it should and shouldn't cover)
* The behavior (how it should format answers, when to link, when to summarize)
Example:\
βYou are a helpful, concise assistant that summarizes news articles from our site. Always link back to the full article and never speculate about unrelated topics.β
Once complete, click **Begin Fine Tuning**.\
Dappier will train your AI Agent using your content and instructions β this typically takes just a few minutes.
## π¨ Customize Your AI Mode β Brand & Deploy
After fine-tuning is complete, two new sections will unlock:
* Brand & Deploy
* Ad Settings
These control how your AI Mode looks, behaves, and monetizes.
Let's go through Brand & Deploy in detail.
### Appearance Sub-Tab
Customize your AI Modeβs design and messaging to reflect your brand identity.
#### π Content & Text Settings
* **Welcome Title** β This is the first heading users will see when the AI Mode loads. It sets the tone for the interaction. Example: "Hi π I'm your local news assistant!"
* **Welcome Description** β A short message explaining how to use your AI Mode. Example: "Ask me about today's top stories or upcoming events."
#### π¨ Branding & Theme
* **Logo** β Upload a logo image or paste a direct image URL. Your logo will appear at the top of the AI Mode.
* **Primary Color** β Choose a color that matches your brand palette. It will be used for buttons, highlights, and accents.
* **Theme Mode** β Select Light or Dark mode. This automatically adjusts background, text, and borders for readability.
π‘ Pro Tip: Use a transparent PNG logo for best results and ensure the logo contrasts well with your chosen theme.
### Behavior Sub-Tab
Control how your AI Mode behaves when users interact with it.
#### βοΈ Behavior Settings
* **Enable Text Input on Load** β Show the text input field immediately, or hide it until a suggested prompt is clicked.

**Analytics & Tracking**
* **Google Tag Manager ID (Optional)** β Track user interactions using GTM.
* **Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID (Optional)** β Measure user engagement via GA4.
π‘ Adding analytics ensures you can measure how users interact with your AI Mode β track sessions, engagement, and more.
### Deploy Sub-Tab
Now that your agent is customized, itβs time to make it live!
#### π Live Site
Every AI Agent automatically gets a hosted Dappier URL, which is your default AI Mode deployment. You can share this link directly or embed it on your site.
#### π Add Existing Domain
To host your AI Mode on your own domain (e.g., ask.yourdomain.com):
1. Click Add Existing Domain.
2. Enter a subdomain and root domain (e.g., "ask" and "yourdomain.com").
3. Dappier uses Entri for secure DNS verification.
4. Click Continue and follow the steps needed to authorize your DNS provider for verification.
Once verified, your AI Mode will be live and accessible through your subdomain β no manual DNS setup required!
#### π SEO Settings
Make your AI Mode discoverable on search engines.
* **Page Title** β The title displayed in search results (50β60 characters).
* **Meta Description** β A short summary of your AI Mode's purpose (120β160 characters).
* **Keywords** β Add keywords separated by commas for discoverability.
* **Favicon** β Upload or paste a direct URL for a 16x16 or 32x32 PNG icon.
