llms.txt in your site's root directoryhttps://yoursite.com/llms.txtThe llms.txt standard helps AI systems understand your site's structure and content permissions — like robots.txt for AI.
The llms.txt format, proposed by Jeremy Howard of fast.ai, uses a simple markdown structure that AI models can parse and understand. This generator creates a compliant file with the following sections:
The generated file is ready to deploy — just save it as llms.txt in your site's root directory. For AI chatbots that read your website content (like Canary), this file provides an additional signal about your site's structure and content hierarchy.
llms.txt is a proposed standard (introduced by Jeremy Howard of fast.ai) that helps AI language models understand your website's structure and content. It's similar to how robots.txt tells search engine crawlers what they can access — but llms.txt is designed for AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It provides a structured, markdown-formatted overview of your site that AI models can reference when answering questions about your business.
As AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview) grows, the way your site is represented in AI responses matters. A llms.txt file helps AI systems: (1) understand what your site is about, (2) know which pages contain which information, (3) respect your content preferences, and (4) cite your site accurately. Early adopters gain an advantage as AI search becomes mainstream.
Place it in your website's root directory, accessible at yoursite.com/llms.txt — just like robots.txt. For static sites (Next.js, Hugo, etc.), add it to your public/ folder. For WordPress, upload it via FTP or use a file manager plugin. For Shopify, add it via the theme's assets. The file should be plain text with a .txt extension.
No. robots.txt controls search engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot). llms.txt is specifically for AI language models that process your content for conversational AI responses. They serve different purposes and coexist. A website should have both: robots.txt for SEO crawlers and llms.txt for AI systems.
As of 2026, llms.txt is a community-driven proposal, not an official W3C or IETF standard. However, it's gaining traction quickly — several AI companies have expressed support, and early adoption is growing. The format is simple and low-risk to implement. Even if the standard evolves, having a well-structured llms.txt file demonstrates AI-readiness and helps organize your site's content strategy.
