Optimize how Gen AI and Language Models (LLMs) understand the content of your website with Decoding's new free tool, the LLMs.txt Generator, which allows you to add the most important content of your website and download a structured text file. This file is a proposed web standard to help LLMs process website content to give more context.
Here is an example of our own Decoding's llms.txt file.
Before you start, briefly identify the most important sections of content of your website. This tool allows you to add as many sections and as many links within a section as you like.
Make sure to add as much context as possible for LLMs to understand what is your website, the most relevant information, and the links to process and attribute.
Whenever you are done creating this file, just click the "Download LLMs.txt" button. The output will be a markdown formatted llms.txt text file, that you will need to upload it to your server's directory.
llms.txt is a new proposed web standard, just like robots.txt, but designed for for AI consumption, so models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude can quickly summarize or generate content based on your website.
This file will help AI systems understand and give more context and to attribute correctly your content in LLM and Gen-AI search answers.
LLMs.txt is a concise, markdown-formatted, summary of your website's most important content, including internal links.
LLMs and GenAI-powered search have a small window of context to handle the complexity of large websites, the llms.txt helps give quickly that context with the most important and relevant content.
Currently, search engines don't use LLMs.txt. However, as AI integration grows, it's possible that search engines might leverage this LLMs.txt files in the future.
