What is LLMs.txt?
LLMs.txt is a standardized file format that websites can use to provide structured information about their content, services, and organization specifically for AI systems and Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand and reference.
Purpose and Goal
The primary purpose of LLMs.txt is to help AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others accurately understand and represent websites when users ask questions about them. Instead of AI systems having to guess or infer information from scattered web content, LLMs.txt provides a clear, structured summary.
How It Works:
File Location
Placed at the root of your website:
https://yoursite.com/llms.txt
Uses plain text with markdown formatting
Publicly accessible to AI crawlers and systems
