There was quite a bit, I imply, quite a bit, of chatter round if one ought to add an LLMs.txt to their web site. Many are beginning to add it whereas others haven’t added it but. Properly, John Mueller of Google chimed in and wrote on Bluesky, “FWIW no AI system presently makes use of llms.txt.”
FWIW no AI system presently makes use of llms.txt.

Yoast already added help to create your llms.txt file, they’ve a web page about it over right here. Yoast is a brilliant common WordPress plugin/extension. Yoast wrote, “Generate an llms.txt file robotically with a click on. Supply to information LLMs like ChatGPT to your most vital content material, serving to them perceive and symbolize your enterprise extra precisely.”
However once more, nobody is admittedly utilizing it but.
Rob Garner wrote an in depth piece on LLMs.txt, a proposed commonplace for AI web site content material crawling some time again on Search Engine Land.
You possibly can see the proposal at llmstxt.org as effectively.
After John wrote that nobody helps it, he added, “Additionally, I feel WP core creates sitemaps for you robotically, so that you in all probability already had that lined too. Having a number of sitemap recordsdata will not trigger issues, particularly in the event that they’re generated by the identical CMS.”
He went on to say, “It is super-obvious when you have a look at your server logs. The patron LLMs / chatbots (those that SEOs need site visitors from) will fetch your pages – for coaching and grounding, however none of them fetch the llms.txt file. Possibly they’ll tomorrow? Possibly I will win within the lottery tomorrow?”
I’ve not carried out it right here but, and I’m not positive if I’ll.
