What is an llms.txt file?
llms.txt is a plain Markdown file at the root of your site that gives language models a short, curated map of it. It was proposed in 2024 by Jeremy Howard of Answer.AI. It starts with an H1 title, adds a one-line summary in a blockquote, then lists your key pages as Markdown links with short descriptions.
The idea is simple: HTML pages carry navigation, scripts and ads, while llms.txt carries the few pages and facts you most want an AI to use.
