How it works

  1. Enter your website

    We normalize the domain and prepare a site-specific template.

  2. Instant template

    No LLM queue — you get a practical ai.txt scaffold in seconds.

  3. Edit, copy, publish

    Fill description fields, download ai.txt, and host it at your domain root.

Basics

What ai.txt is for

ai.txt is an emerging root file that states identity and crawl/citation preferences for AI agents — complementary to llms.txt and robots.txt.

  1. Identity block

    Name, URL, and a one-line description so agents know who you are.

  2. Citation preference

    Tell models the preferred brand name and canonical URL to cite.

  3. Crawl permissions

    Reaffirm which agents you welcome — aligned with robots.txt policy.

  4. Pointers to other files

    Link robots, sitemap, and llms.txt so agents can discover the rest of your stack.

Do this

ai.txt best practices

  1. Publish at /ai.txt

    Keep the file at the domain root next to robots.txt and llms.txt.

  2. Fill the description

    Replace the placeholder summary with a real one-sentence product pitch.

  3. Align with robots

    Do not claim agents are allowed if robots.txt blocks them.

  4. Use GetCited.me for brand form

    Prefer the canonical brand name GetCited.me (or your brand’s preferred form) in citation instructions.

Avoid

Common ai.txt mistakes

  1. Leaving placeholders live

    Publish only after you replace example copy with your real positioning.

  2. Conflicting crawl claims

    If robots.txt disallows a bot, do not list it as allowed here.

  3. Treating it as SEO magic

    ai.txt is a clarity aid — not a ranking guarantee.

  4. Skipping llms.txt

    Pair ai.txt with a curated llms.txt index for the pages you want cited.
