AI systems are answering questions about your business right now. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity about your services, they either get it right or they guess. Most of the time, they guess wrong — confusing you with competitors, fabricating services you don’t offer, and recommending someone else entirely.
AI Discovery Files fix this. They are machine-readable files at the root of your website that tell AI systems exactly who you are, what you do, and how to refer to your brand. Think of them as <code>robots.txt</code> for AI — except instead of telling crawlers what to ignore, you tell AI systems what to get right.
This is the only WordPress plugin that generates all 10 AI Discovery Files defined in the <a href="https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/" rel="nofollow ugc">AI Discovery Files Specification</a>.
<h4>Why your website needs AI Discovery Files</h4>
Without AI Discovery Files, your website is invisible to AI — not ranking poorly, completely absent from AI responses. With AI Discovery Files, you give every major AI system a single, authoritative source of truth about your business. You get mentioned. You get cited. You get recommended.
This is not traditional SEO. This is AI visibility — also called generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO). Whatever you call it, it starts with AI Discovery Files.
<h4>All 10 AI Discovery Files</h4>
The <a href="https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/" rel="nofollow ugc">AI Discovery Files Specification</a> defines 10 file types across three implementation tiers:
Essential (start here)
<ul>
<li><code>llms.txt</code> — AI-readable business identity (Markdown)</li>
<li><code>ai.txt</code> — AI usage permissions (plain text)</li>
</ul>
Recommended
<ul>
<li><code>identity.json</code> — Structured business identity (JSON)</li>
<li><code>ai.json</code> — Machine-parseable permissions (JSON)</li>
<li><code>brand.txt</code> — Brand naming and terminology rules</li>
<li><code>faq-ai.txt</code> — Pre-answered questions for AI systems</li>
</ul>
Complete
<ul>
<li><code>llm.txt</code> — Compatibility redirect to llms.txt</li>
<li><code>llms.html</code> — Human-readable reference version</li>
<li><code>developer-ai.txt</code> — Technical context for developers</li>
<li><code>robots-ai.txt</code> — AI crawler-specific directives</li>
</ul>
Most competing plugins only generate <code>llms.txt</code>. This plugin generates all 10 files, giving you complete coverage across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and every other major AI system.
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Fill in your business details on the settings page</li>
<li>Choose which files to enable</li>
<li>The plugin serves the files at the correct root URLs (e.g., <code>yoursite.com/llms.txt</code>)</li>
</ol>
Files are generated dynamically from your settings — no files are written to disk, and everything updates automatically when you change your settings.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-detection — pulls your site name, tagline, pages, theme, and WordPress version automatically</li>
<li>All 10 file types — the only plugin that generates every AI Discovery File, not just llms.txt</li>
<li>Three implementation tiers — start with Essential and expand when ready</li>
<li>Live preview — see exactly what each file contains before enabling it</li>
<li>Validation — checks files against the specification and flags issues</li>
<li>AI Crawler Analytics — see which AI bots read your AI Discovery Files, with visual dashboards and CSV export</li>
<li>Discovery File Access tracking — proof that AI bots are reading the files this plugin generates</li>
<li>robots.txt conflict detection — warns when your robots.txt contradicts your AI visibility settings</li>
<li>Conflict detection — warns if physical files already exist at the same URLs</li>
<li>Directory verification — verify domain ownership for the <a href="https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc">AI Visibility Directory</a> without FTP</li>
<li>No lock-in — disable the plugin and the files simply stop being served</li>
<li>Developer-friendly — filters for every generated file and collected data point</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who needs this?</h4>
Every WordPress site that wants to be found, mentioned, and correctly cited by AI systems. Local businesses, agencies, ecommerce stores, SaaS companies, professional services — if AI is answering questions about your industry, you need to control what it says about you.

LLMs.txt Curator helps site owners generate and curate a high-quality <code>llms.txt</code> file for AI assistants and retrieval systems, ensuring only relevant, well-described content is exposed to large language models.
It generates and maintains <code>llms.txt</code> and <code>llms-full.txt</code> — the emerging standard for telling AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others) which pages on your site matter most and what they contain.
Unlike auto-generators that dump every URL into a flat file, LLMs.txt Curator takes a curation-first approach. You choose the pages, organise them into sections, fill descriptions, override titles for AI, validate quality, and see exactly which AI bots are reading your file — all from a single interface.
<h4>What makes this different</h4>
Most llms.txt plugins treat the file as a static output. LLMs.txt Curator treats it as a living asset:
<ul>
<li>Quality Score — every generated file shows your coverage percentage, which pages have descriptions, and which still need attention.</li>
<li>Description Suggestions — one click fills all missing descriptions from a five-step fallback chain (SEO meta → excerpt → Open Graph → page content). Never overwrites what you’ve set manually.</li>
<li>Change Detection — a banner appears in your admin when curated pages have been updated since the last generation, with a Regenerate Now button. Your llms.txt stays current without manual checking.</li>
<li>Per-Page Title Override — set a different title for each page specifically for AI consumption, without touching your on-site SEO.</li>
<li>Safety Mode — blocks generation if validation errors exist, preventing a broken file from going live. Includes an on-demand validator with plain-English results.</li>
<li>AI Crawler Analytics — see which bots visited in the last 7 days, with a visual bar chart. OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google — know who is actually reading your file.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Drag-and-drop curation — reorder sections and pages visually; each section becomes an <code>##</code> heading per the spec</li>
<li>llms-full.txt generation — the companion file with full Markdown content for each curated page</li>
<li>Five SEO plugin integrations — Rank Math, Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework</li>
<li>Schema-aware descriptions — uses structured data before falling back through the description chain</li>
<li>Scheduled regeneration — choose Instant (on publish), Daily, Weekly, or Manual</li>
<li>WooCommerce support — SKU, price, stock, categories, dimensions; respects product visibility</li>
<li>WordPress Multisite — network-activate across all sites; each site manages its own independent llms.txt; Network Admin overview with per-site and bulk regenerate</li>
<li>Pre-built templates — Business, E-commerce, SaaS, Blog, Local Business</li>
<li>Live preview — see your exact llms.txt output before saving</li>
<li>Import / export — move your configuration between sites as JSON</li>
<li>WP-CLI — <code>wp llms-txt regenerate</code>, <code>wp llms-txt status</code>, <code>wp llms-txt crawler-log</code></li>
<li>REST API — <code>POST /wp-json/llms-txt/v1/regenerate</code>, <code>GET /wp-json/llms-txt/v1/status</code></li>
<li>Atomic file writes — temp file → rename; no half-written files served to bots</li>
<li>ETag/304 caching — proper HTTP headers for CDN revalidation</li>
<li>Subdirectory / Bedrock support — correctly finds the site root on non-standard installs</li>
<li>Robots.txt reference — automatically adds a spec-compliant comment</li>
</ul>
<h4>Description Suggestions in detail</h4>
When pages lack descriptions, AI systems get less context. The suggestion engine fills the gap automatically:
<ol>
<li>Schema markup (Rank Math, custom <code>_schema_json</code>)</li>
<li>SEO plugin meta description</li>
<li>WordPress excerpt</li>
<li>Open Graph description (<code>_og_description</code> / <code>og_description</code>)</li>
<li>First 160 characters of post content</li>
</ol>
Already-set descriptions are never touched. Pages that can’t be filled automatically are listed for manual review.
<h4>Quality Score</h4>
Every generated <code>llms.txt</code> ends with a coverage report:
<pre><code>Quality Score: 94%
Pages included: 48
Pages with descriptions: 45
Pages missing descriptions: 3
</code></pre>
This is visible to the AI systems reading your file, and to you in the Preview tab.
<h4>AI Crawler Analytics</h4>
Track 12 known bots: GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Meta-ExternalAgent, Bytespider, CCBot, Cohere, DeepSeek, Amazonbot.
The 7-day analytics card shows a visual bar chart of recent activity. All-time totals are kept separately. IP addresses are anonymised before storage — last octet zeroed for IPv4, last 80 bits for IPv6. No data leaves your server.
<h4>Safety Mode</h4>
Before generation, the validator checks:
<ul>
<li>Pages missing or unpublished</li>
<li>Duplicate URLs across sections</li>
<li>Noindex conflicts</li>
<li>Canonical mismatches</li>
<li>Password-protected pages</li>
<li>Thin content (< 100 words, no meta, no excerpt)</li>
<li>File size > 50 KB</li>
<li>Too many pages (> 80)</li>
</ul>
When Safety Mode is on, errors block generation and the results are shown immediately. Warnings are surfaced but don’t block. Everything is explained in plain English.
<h4>Scheduled regeneration</h4>
<ul>
<li>Instant — regenerates ~30 seconds after any page is published or trashed (default)</li>
<li>Daily — once per day, via WP-Cron recurring event</li>
<li>Weekly — once per week</li>
<li>Manual — only when you click Save & Generate</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to get started</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate. The plugin auto-scans your content and creates initial sections.</li>
<li>Curate: drag, drop, add, remove. Aim for 20-60 pages that best represent your site.</li>
<li>Click Generate Missing Descriptions to fill gaps automatically.</li>
<li>Fix any warnings shown in the Safety Mode card.</li>
<li>Set the update mode that suits your workflow.</li>
<li>Save & Generate. Your files are live at <code>/llms.txt</code> and <code>/llms-full.txt</code>.</li>
<li>Enable the AI Crawler Log to see which bots start visiting.</li>
</ol>
<h4>WooCommerce integration</h4>
When WooCommerce is active, the plugin automatically includes SKU, price, and stock status in <code>llms.txt</code> descriptions, and full product details in <code>llms-full.txt</code>. Products with “hidden” visibility are excluded, and you can optionally exclude out-of-stock products.
<h4>Developer hooks</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>llmscu_capability</code> filter — override the required capability (default: <code>manage_options</code>)</li>
<li><code>llmscu_post_limit</code> filter — scanner post limit per type (default: 500)</li>
<li><code>llmscu_full_word_limit</code> filter — per-page word cap in <code>llms-full.txt</code> (default: unlimited)</li>
<li><code>llmscu_regenerated</code> action — fires after each successful regeneration with the content string</li>
</ul>
