Customize the look and behavior of Ask AI

Ask AI 2.0 is white labeled, so the agent your readers see carries your text, logo, and colors. You control this from the Brand & Deploy tab of your agent, which has three sections: Appearance, Behavior, and Deploy. This page covers the first two. For embed codes and hosting, see Deploy Ask AI. To get there, open My AI Agents, select your agent, make sure Ask AI 2.0 is selected at the top right, and select Brand & Deploy. Select Update Agent after any change to save it.
