An llms.txt file is a plain text file that sits at yoursite.com/llms.txt and tells AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot what your website is about, who is behind it and which pages matter, in a format built for machines to read. Fill in the form below and this generator builds the file for you, following the llms.txt convention of a title, a one line summary and organised link sections. Copy it or download it, then upload it to the root of your website. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
How to use the generator
- Fill in your site name, a one sentence description, and who is behind the site.
- Paste your key pages, one per line, in the form URL | what the page is. Your five to fifteen most important pages beat a full sitemap dump.
- Press the button, then copy or download the file and upload it as llms.txt in the root folder of your site, the same place robots.txt lives.
The generator
What goes in a good llms.txt
The convention is simple on purpose. The file opens with a single heading that names the site, then a one line summary in a blockquote, then short sections of links with a line on what each page is. That is it. The mistakes that make the file useless are dumping hundreds of URLs with no descriptions, writing marketing copy instead of plain statements, and letting the file contradict what the site itself says. Machines reading the file want the same things a careful human researcher wants: who you are, what you know, where the proof lives. If you are not sure your site is being read by AI engines at all, run it through the free AI visibility checker first, and read what llms.txt is and whether your website needs one for the full picture on when the file is worth having.
Does llms.txt help you get cited by AI?
Treat it as one signal, not a magic switch. Adoption by the engines is uneven and nobody serious will promise you citations from a text file alone. What it does is remove ambiguity: when an AI system does fetch it, your identity, your expertise and your most citable pages are stated in one place, in a format built to be parsed, instead of being inferred from scattered pages. The sites winning AI citations combine that clarity with content written to be quoted: clear answers high on the page, real names and credentials, and consistent facts everywhere. The full playbook for that is in how to get found by AI, and every free tool on this site is listed on the free tools page.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I upload the llms.txt file?
In the root folder of your website, the same place robots.txt lives, so it is reachable at yoursite.com/llms.txt. On WordPress, most hosts let you upload it by file manager or SFTP, and several SEO plugins can now serve one for you.
What is the difference between llms.txt and robots.txt?
robots.txt tells crawlers what they may fetch. llms.txt tells AI systems what your site is about and which pages matter. One is permission, the other is explanation. They live side by side and do different jobs.
Do I need llms-full.txt as well?
Only if you want to go further. llms-full.txt is an expanded version that can carry the actual content of key pages, not just links. Start with the short file; add the full one when you have a clear set of pages you want quoted.
How many pages should I list?
Five to fifteen strong ones. The file is a curated front door, not a sitemap. Lead with the pages that prove expertise and the ones you would want an AI engine to quote.
Does this generator upload anything or need a login?
No. The file is built in your browser from what you type, nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no login. You copy or download the result and upload it yourself.
