How to Create an llms.txt File

llms.txt is an emerging standard that tells AI language models what your site is about, which pages matter, and how to interpret your content. Think of it as robots.txt but specifically for LLMs rather than crawlers. It lives at yourdomain.com/llms.txt.

Why it matters

When AI models encounter your site they have to infer your brand identity and content structure from context. An llms.txt file gives them that context explicitly, improving citation accuracy and reducing misrepresentation. Leading companies including Stripe, Vercel, and Framer have already published llms.txt files.
