Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Discovery Files – llms.txt & AI Visibility

Install AI Discovery Files. ChatGPT and other AI systems look for structured, machine-readable signals when deciding which businesses to mention. AI Discovery Files provide exactly those signals: your identity, services, brand rules, and FAQs in formats AI systems can parse. This is the most direct step you can take to get mentioned by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
AI visibility is whether AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can correctly discover, understand, and cite your website. Search engines show a list of links. AI systems give one answer. If your website isn't AI-visible, you won't be that answer. Your competitor will be.
llms.txt is a Markdown file placed at the root of your website that provides AI systems with a structured description of your business: your name, what you do, contact information, and key pages. It was created by Jeremy Howard at Answer.AI and has been adopted by companies including Stripe, Cloudflare, and Dell. This plugin generates llms.txt plus 9 additional AI Discovery Files for complete coverage.
Most plugins only generate a single file, llms.txt. This plugin generates all 10 AI Discovery Files defined in the specification, including ai.txt (permissions), identity.json (structured identity), brand.txt (naming rules), faq-ai.txt (pre-answered questions), and more. One file tells AI your name. Ten files give AI systems everything they need to cite you accurately.
Version 1.14.0. The canonical specification is published at ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/, where each of the 10 file types is versioned individually and the full version history is public. If you find a shorter list of AI Discovery Files elsewhere, check it against the canonical specification: the framework defines 10 file types across three tiers, and this plugin generates all of them.
Yes. Google AI Overviews pull information from websites that provide clear, structured, and authoritative content. AI Discovery Files give Google's AI systems explicit signals about your business identity, services, and permissions, making it easier for AI Overviews to represent you correctly.
Generative engine optimisation (GEO), also called answer engine optimisation (AEO), is the practice of making your website discoverable and citable by AI-powered search engines. AI Discovery Files are a foundational part of any GEO strategy, because they provide the structured data AI systems need to find and cite your business.
No. AI Discovery Files work alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and other SEO plugins. Traditional SEO targets search engines. AI Discovery Files target AI systems. You need both. Think of it as adding an AI layer on top of your existing SEO.
AI Discovery Files are served with X-Robots-Tag: noindex headers, so they won't appear in search results themselves. However, they help AI-powered search features (like Google AI Overviews and Bing Copilot) represent your business accurately, which can improve your overall AI visibility and referral traffic.
Yes. AI Discovery Files are served via WordPress rewrite rules with appropriate cache headers. They are compatible with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and other popular caching plugins.
