Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about md4AI
md4AI is a plugin that optimizes your website for Generative Engines (GEO) by serving custom Markdown and a site-wide llms.txt file.
GEO is a new standard for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) that helps guide LLMs in understanding your site's content and purpose.
The plugin checks the incoming HTTP User-Agent string against an internal, pre-defined list of known AI and large language model (LLM) crawlers (e.g., gptbot, claudebot, google-extended, perplexitybot, etc.).
If you have the ai-services plugin installed, md4AI adds a "Generate with AI" button to its post metabox. This takes the generated Markdown for that post and sends it, along with a prompt, to your chosen AI provider. The AI-enhanced text (e.g., your post plus a new FAQ section) then replaces the content in the metabox, ready to be served to bots.
They serve two different, important purposes: Custom Markdown (Per Post/Page): This is controlled via a metabox on each post/page. It allows you to create a specific, enhanced Markdown version of that page's content. This is what an AI bot will receive instead of the HTML when it crawls that specific URL. llms.txt (Site-Wide): This is controlled from the plugin's main options page. It's a single file for your entire site, similar to robots.txt. It doesn't contain post content, but rather gives general instructions and context to AI crawlers (e.g., site purpose, useful links, etc.). For more details, see https://llmstxt.org/.
This applies to your posts and pages: Automatic: If you do nothing, the plugin automatically converts your post's HTML to Markdown on-the-fly when a bot visits. Manual: If you use the metabox to "Generate" or "Generate with AI," you create a static version that is saved to your database. This saved version will be served to bots instead. This allows you to add enhanced content (like FAQs) that only the AI sees.
No. Regular users and traditional search engine crawlers (like standard Googlebot) will continue to receive your standard HTML page. This functionality is specifically targeted at AI agents.
No. For automatic detection, the plugin runs early and immediately stops execution (exit;) after serving the Markdown content. For manual generation, the content is pre-generated and saved, so serving it is extremely fast.
