Frequently Asked Questions

What is an LLMs.txt file?

llms.txt is a plain-text file you place at the root of your site (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that gives AI models a curated map of your most important pages. Proposed through llmstxt.org, it uses simple Markdown: a title, a one-line summary, and grouped lists of links with short descriptions. Think of it as a table of contents written for large language models instead of search crawlers.

Does my website need an llms.txt file?

Short answer: no, you don't need one, but it won't hurt to have one.

llms.txt is optional. No search engine or AI model requires it, and no major AI provider has confirmed it changes how you show up in AI answers. It's low-effort hygiene, closer to a tidy sitemap than a growth strategy. Adding one takes about two minutes with the generator above, so if you like keeping things in order, go ahead. Just be clear about what it will and won't do: our guide on what llms.txt does and doesn't do sums up the evidence.

Where should I install the llms.txt file on my site?

At the root of your domain, so it is reachable at yoursite.com/llms.txt.

Do ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude use llms.txt?

None have confirmed it. Adoption is unproven, so do not rely on it for visibility.

Will llms.txt improve my AI visibility or rankings?

Unlikely on its own. It is hygiene. Real gains come from being cited in the sources AI models quote.

Is this llms.txt generator free?

Yes, generate and download as many as you like.
