What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is an emerging convention — a plain markdown file served at /llms.txt on your site's root — proposing a concise, LLM-readable map of your key pages. Instead of an AI assistant or crawler wading through navigation menus, ads, JavaScript widgets, and cookie banners to figure out what a site is about, llms.txt gives it a short curated index: what the site is, and links to the sections and docs worth reading.

It isn't a standard enforced by any crawler yet, and it doesn't replace robots.txt or sitemap.xml — those control crawling and discovery mechanics. llms.txt is closer to a README aimed at language models: a human-curated summary rather than an automatically generated list of every URL.

When to use it

It's most useful for documentation sites, developer tools, and content-heavy blogs that want AI assistants (coding copilots, research agents, chatbots with browsing) to cite them accurately instead of guessing from stale training data or a messy HTML scrape. If you maintain API docs, a knowledge base, or a product with a lot of interlinked pages, an llms.txt gives you a lever to say "these are the pages that matter" explicitly.

It's low-effort to adopt: write it once, drop it in your site's public root as /llms.txt, and update it when your site structure changes meaningfully.

Example

For a docs site, fill in Site Name ("Acme Docs"), a one-line Description ("API and SDK documentation for the Acme platform"), a couple of Topics ("REST API", "Webhooks"), and Sections like Getting Started|/docs/start|Setup and authentication and API Reference|/docs/api|Full endpoint reference. The generator produces a markdown file with an H1 title, blockquote summary, and linked sections ready to save as llms.txt at your domain root.

How to use the llms.txt Generator tool

  1. 1

    Fill in site basics

    Enter your site name, URL, and a one-sentence description of what it offers.

  2. 2

    List topics and sections

    Add topic tags and key sections as name|url|description lines — these become the linked index.

  3. 3

    Add contact info

    Optionally include a contact so AI systems (or their operators) know who to reach about your content.

  4. 4

    Copy and publish

    Copy the generated markdown and save it as /llms.txt at your site's root, or copy a permalink to save your draft.

Frequently asked questions

Does llms.txt replace robots.txt or sitemap.xml?

No. robots.txt controls what crawlers may fetch and sitemap.xml lists URLs for discovery. llms.txt is a separate, curated summary aimed at giving language models context about what your site is and which pages matter most — it has no bearing on crawl permissions.

Is llms.txt an official, adopted standard?

It's a proposed convention, not something enforced by search engines or a formal spec body. Support varies by AI tool. Publishing one costs almost nothing, but don't expect guaranteed adoption by every crawler.

Where does the file need to live?

At the root of your domain as /llms.txt (e.g. https://example.com/llms.txt), the same convention as /robots.txt, so tools know where to look without extra configuration.

Is my input sent anywhere?

No. The generator builds the file entirely in your browser from the fields you fill in — nothing is uploaded until you choose to publish it yourself.
