Free llms.txt Generator from your sitemap
Enter your website. The generator reads your sitemap and page titles, groups your pages into sections and builds an llms.txt file you can edit, copy and upload. Free, no sign-up.
Reads public pages only. No sign-up.
1. Check and edit
You already have an llms.txt
Here's the start of it. Compare before replacing it.
2. Copy your llms.txt
Upload it to your site's root folder so it opens at yoursite.com/llms.txt. Keep it short: your most useful pages, not every URL.
The honest answer
Will llms.txt help you get found by AI?
Probably not much, on its own. llms.txt is a proposed standard, not something search engines have adopted. Google says you don't need it for AI Overviews or AI Mode, and no major AI search engine has said it uses the file to pick sources.
It's still worth five minutes: it's free, some AI agents and developer tools read it, and Chrome's Lighthouse now checks for it in an experimental audit. What actually gets you cited is being reachable by AI crawlers, having clear answer-ready pages and being mentioned on trusted sites.

FAQ
llms.txt, explained
What the file is, what it can and can't do, and where it goes.
01What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a proposed standard from 2024 (llmstxt.org): a plain Markdown file at yoursite.com/llms.txt that gives AI tools a short summary of your site and links to your most useful pages. It's like a curated table of contents written for language models.
02Does llms.txt help SEO or AI rankings?
There's no evidence it does. Google says you don't need it for AI Overviews or AI Mode, and no major AI search engine has confirmed using it to choose sources. It's cheap to add and some AI agents and developer tools read it, so treat it as a small extra, not a ranking factor.
03Where do I put the file?
In your site's root folder, so it opens at yoursite.com/llms.txt. On most hosts that's public_html, which you can reach with your host's File Manager. Some SEO plugins can also create one for you.
04What should go in it?
Your business name, a one-line summary, then your most important pages grouped under headings: services, products, key guides, about and contact. Leave out thin, duplicate or private pages. Put less important links under an 'Optional' heading.
05Is llms.txt the same as robots.txt?
No. robots.txt tells crawlers what they may or may not access. llms.txt doesn't allow or block anything; it only points AI tools to your best content. To control AI crawler access, use robots.txt, and check it with the free AI Crawler Checker.
06What does the generator read from my site?
Only public pages: your homepage, robots.txt, XML sitemap and the titles and descriptions of up to 40 pages. Results are cached for 6 hours so repeat runs are fast. Everything you edit stays in your browser.
