# Customize the look and behavior of Ask AI

> Set the welcome text, logo, colors, theme, prompt suggestions, related content, and other behavior of your Ask AI agent in Brand & Deploy.

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](https://docs.dappier.com/publishers/deploy-ask-ai.md).

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.
