Your Competitors.

Why this matters
AI is becoming the first touchpoint in buying decisions. When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best tool for X" — that's a buying signal. If you're not in the answer, you don't exist.
The llms.txt file tells AI what your business does, what you offer, and why you matter. Without it, AI guesses. And it usually guesses wrong — or recommends your competitor instead.
Companies like Anthropic, Cursor, Cloudflare, and Zapier already have llms.txt. They're getting recommended. You're not.
The longer you wait, the more entrenched your competitors become in AI responses. This compounds.
What is llms.txt?
The llms.txt file is a markdown document placed at your website's root (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that tells AI systems what your business does. Think of it as robots.txt for AI — while robots.txt tells Google what to crawl, llms.txt tells ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini what your site is actually about.
The standard was created by Jeremy Howard at Answer.AI in 2024. It exists because AI systems struggle to understand modern websites — they're filled with navigation, popups, and complex layouts that make it hard to extract the essential information about your business.
An llms.txt file gives AI a clean, structured summary: what you do, what you offer, your pricing, features, and key pages. Without it, AI guesses. And when AI guesses, it usually gets it wrong — or recommends your competitor instead.

If you want AI to recommend your business when people ask questions related to what you do — you need llms.txt.
llms.txt vs robots.txt vs sitemap.xml
| File | Purpose | Read by |
|---|---|---|
| robots.txt | Controls what pages get crawled | Search engines (Google, Bing) |
| sitemap.xml | Lists all pages for indexing | Search engines |
| llms.txt | Explains what your site is about | AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) |
You need all three. robots.txt and sitemap.xml help with traditional SEO. llms.txt helps with AI search — the fastest-growing way people find products and services. Learn more →
