llms.txt generator

Build a valid llms.txt — the Markdown convention that hands AI tools and answer engines a clean map of your best content. Fill in the fields, generate, copy. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

What llms.txt is, and why publish one

Search is shifting from a list of links to a single synthesized answer, and the engines that write those answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google's AI overviews — decide what to read and cite from your site. llms.txt is a small, emerging convention that helps: a Markdown file at your domain root that curates your most important, canonical pages in a clean, link-first format a model can parse without wading through navigation and ads.

It is not an official standard and no engine is known to require it, so treat it as a cheap hedge, not a silver bullet — publish it alongside the signals that matter more (crawlability for AI bots, structured data, and answer-first content). The format is deliberately simple: an H1 title, an optional summary blockquote, and one or more ## sections of Markdown links with short notes. This tool produces exactly that.

After you publish it

  • Serve the file at https://yoursite.com/llms.txt as plain text.
  • Keep the link list short and canonical — your best pages, not every page (that is what your sitemap is for).
  • Audit it for link rot the same way you audit your sitemap; a stale map is worse than none.
  • Want it scored? Our citation-readiness checker and the AEO audit endpoints validate llms.txt structure and section coverage.

Common questions

What is an llms.txt file?

llms.txt is a simple, emerging convention: a Markdown file at the root of your domain (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that points AI tools and answer engines at your most important, canonical content in a clean, link-first format. Think of it as a curated map for machines — a complement to robots.txt and sitemap.xml, optimized for how language models read a site.

Is this llms.txt generator free?

Yes, completely. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server, and there is no signup. Fill in your site details, generate, and copy or download the file.

Where do I put the llms.txt file?

At the root of your domain, served at https://yoursite.com/llms.txt as plain text or Markdown. Some teams also publish an expanded llms-full.txt with the actual content inlined; this generator produces the standard link-first llms.txt.

Does llms.txt actually help with AI citations?

It is a convention, not a guaranteed ranking factor — no major engine is known to require it. But it is cheap to publish and easy to maintain, and it makes your canonical content unambiguous to the tools that do read it. Treat it as a low-cost hedge while the convention settles, alongside the structural signals that matter more: crawlability, structured data, and clear answer-first content.

How is llms.txt different from robots.txt and sitemap.xml?

robots.txt tells crawlers what they may access; sitemap.xml enumerates every URL for discovery; llms.txt curates the handful of pages you most want an AI to read and cite, with human-readable context. They are complementary — publish all three.
