How to Deploy llms.txt on Your Website: Complete Guide

Last updated: April 2026

What Is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a plain text file placed at the root of your website (e.g., yourdomain.com/llms.txt) that provides AI models with structured information about your business. Think of it as a robots.txt for AI comprehension — while robots.txt controls crawler access, llms.txt tells AI crawlers what your business actually does.

The format was proposed by Jeremy Howard and has gained adoption across thousands of websites in 2025-2026. Major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity have confirmed they parse llms.txt files when crawling websites.

Why You Need llms.txt

Without llms.txt, AI models rely entirely on parsing your website content, which may be JavaScript-heavy, dynamically loaded, or spread across hundreds of pages. An llms.txt file provides a clean, structured summary that AI models can process instantly.

Websites with llms.txt files see measurably higher accuracy in how AI platforms describe their business. This reduces hallucinations — instances where AI models state incorrect facts about your company.

llms.txt Format

The file uses a simple markdown-like format with headers and bullet points. Here's the recommended structure:

# Your Company Name
> One-line description of what you do.
What We Do
Description of your products/services.
Key Products
Product 1: description
Product 2: description
Pricing
Plan details
Contact
Website: https://yourdomain.com
Email: contact@yourdomain.com
