What is an llms.txt File?

An llms.txt file is a simple text file placed at the root of your website that summarises your business and key pages in a format designed for large language models - helping AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity understand and accurately represent your business.

That is the short answer. Below, what it means in practice and how to act on it - written plainly, the way both people and AI models prefer.
