An llms.txt file takes about fifteen minutes to write. Here's a step-by-step process, a template you can copy, and a generator that builds the file for you.
llms.txt is a plain Markdown file that gives AI tools a short, clean summary of your website and links to your best pages. If you're new to the idea, start with what is llms.txt. If you're ready to make one, this guide walks through it.
The generator on this page builds a valid llms.txt from your site name, summary and links. Fill in the fields, preview the Markdown and copy the result.

Fill it in from your site in one click, or write it yourself. Edit the sections, then copy or download your llms.txt.
Free, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser.
Start with an H1 containing your site or product name, then a one- or two-sentence summary in a blockquote:
# Example Co
> Example Co makes waterproof outdoor gear for hikers and trail runners, sold online in the US and Canada.Write the summary for someone who has never heard of you. Say what you do, for whom, and anything an assistant would need to answer questions correctly (where you operate, what you don't do).
Below the summary, add a few short paragraphs or bullet points with facts people often ask about: pricing model, shipping regions, support hours, return policy, supported platforms.
Pick the 10 to 30 pages that best explain your site. Good candidates:
Leave out pages that don't help someone understand you: tag archives, login pages, thin blog posts.
Use H2 headings for groups, and Markdown links with a short description:
## Docs
- [Quick start](https://example.com/docs/start): set up an account in five minutes
- [API reference](https://example.com/docs/api): every endpoint with examples
## Policies
- [Returns](https://example.com/returns): 60-day free returns
## Optional
- [Company history](https://example.com/about)The Optional section is for links an AI tool can skip if it's short on space.
The file must load at https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt, as plain text.

|---|---|
| Static site, Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel | Put llms.txt in the public or root folder |
| WordPress | Upload via FTP or file manager to the site root, or use a plugin |
| Shopify | Shopify doesn't allow root files directly; use an app or a redirect from a page |
| Any server | Place it next to robots.txt |
Run your site through the llms.txt checker to confirm the file loads, the structure is valid and every link works.
.md copy of each page at the same address plus .md.Review the file whenever you launch a product, change pricing or restructure your site. An out-of-date llms.txt can lead AI tools to give people wrong answers about you.
