Questions
Is llms.txt the same as robots.txt?+
No. robots.txt controls access. llms.txt is a guide to your content; it doesn't allow or block anything.
Do AI engines use llms.txt?+
Support varies and is still developing. Some AI tools and developer assistants read it; major AI search engines haven't committed to it.
