Key Takeaways
- llms.txt is a Markdown file at your site root that summarizes your site for language models.
- It is not a ranking factor, but it is a cheap, low-risk way to give AI agents a clean map.
- Include a one-line description, your core pages and your best evergreen guides.
llms.txt is a proposed convention: a Markdown file at your site root that summarizes who you are and links to your most important pages, written for language models rather than browsers.
What it does — and doesn't — do
It is not a ranking factor and no major assistant guarantees they read it. It is a cheap, low-risk way to give AI agents a clean map of your content, and it forces you to decide which pages matter.
What to include
- A one-line description of your brand or yourself.
- Links to core service, product and about pages with one-sentence summaries.
- Your best evergreen guides.
This site publishes one at /llms.txt — feel free to use it as a template.
