What llms.txt is
llms.txt is a plain text file at the root of a website (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that tells AI tools, in a few lines, what the site is and which pages matter most. Jeremy Howard of Answer.AI proposed it in September 2024. It is written in Markdown: a heading with your name, a one-line summary, a few notes, then lists of links with a short note on each.
What it does and doesn't do
Be honest with yourself about this one. llms.txt is a proposal, not a standard. Some AI coding tools and documentation sites use it, but no major AI search engine has said it reads llms.txt to decide what to show or whom to cite, and Google's guidance for AI features doesn't mention it.
So add it because it is cheap and harmless, not because it will move rankings. What does decide whether AI can read and name you is that your robots.txt lets the AI search crawlers in (check with the AI crawler checker) and that your pages state your facts clearly.
How to add it
- Fill in the form: your name, one sentence on what you do, and your five to fifteen most useful pages.
- Download the file. It must be named exactly
llms.txt. - Upload it to the root of your website, next to robots.txt.
- Open
yoursite.com/llms.txtin a browser to check it shows as plain text.
Where the file goes:
- WordPress: upload it with your host's file manager, or use a plugin that serves llms.txt.
- Next.js and other code: put it in the public folder.
- Wix, Squarespace and Shopify: these don't always allow root files; skip it if yours doesn't.
What to put in it
Write the summary like the answer you would want an AI to give: what you do, where, and for whom. List pages that answer real questions (services, prices, areas you serve, how to book) before the blog. Keep the notes factual. Nothing in the file should disagree with your website.
Questions people ask
Does ChatGPT or Google read llms.txt?
Not as far as anyone has confirmed. Google, OpenAI and Perplexity haven't said they use it to choose what to show or cite. It is a low-cost proposal that some AI tools use, mostly for documentation.
Is llms.txt the same as robots.txt?
No. robots.txt tells crawlers what they may read. llms.txt is a summary and a reading list. It doesn't allow or block anything.
What is llms-full.txt?
Some sites also publish llms-full.txt with the full text of their key pages in one file. It is optional and mostly used by documentation sites.
Is anything I type sent to ParSEO?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser, and the file downloads straight from it.
