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.

Odyssey LLMS is the definitive control panel for your website’s AI presence. It generates the critical files used by Large Language Models (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) to understand and cite your content.
For Beginners: Just activate it. A comprehensive and optimised <code>llms.txt</code> file is instantly generated. No configuration is needed.
For Power Users: Manage every aspect of your AI strategy. Track bot traffic with built-in analytics, generate JSONL datasets for fine-tuning, and clean up your content with CSS selectors.
<h3>Concepts Explained: Why do you need this?</h3>
<h4>1. What is <code>llms.txt</code>?</h4>
Think of <code>llms.txt</code> as a “Sitemap for AI”. While humans use HTML pages and Search Engines use XML sitemaps, AI agents look for an <code>llms.txt</code> file in your root directory. This file gives them a clean, prioritised list of links to crawl, ensuring they train on your best content and ignore the junk.
<h4>2. What is <code>llms-full.txt</code> (Markdown)?</h4>
This is an optional advanced feature (RAG-Ready). Instead of just providing links, <code>llms-full.txt</code> provides your actual website content converted into clean, lightweight Markdown format. 
* Why it’s useful: It allows AI agents to ingest your website’s knowledge immediately without needing to visit and scrape every single HTML page. This reduces server load and ensures the AI gets accurate data for “Retrieval Augmented Generation” (RAG). 
* ⚠️ WARNING regarding Virtual Mode Limits: When using Virtual Mode to generate this file, the item limit for the llms-full.txt file is securely capped at 50 by default. Manually increasing this limit beyond 50 in the ‘Tools’ settings will drastically increase server load and risks causing immediate 500/503 server crashes. Use this feature at your own risk. If you require more than 50 items in your llms-full.txt file, we recommend using Physical Mode instead.
<h4>3. What is <code>llms.jsonl</code> (Fine-Tuning)?</h4>
This file formats your content into prompt-completion pairs (JSON Lines). This is the standard format used to fine-tune models like GPT-4 or Llama 3 on your specific data.
New Features in 6.0:
<ul>
<li>JSONL Generator: Create a dataset ready for fine-tuning custom AI models.</li>
<li>Content Cleaning: Use CSS selectors (e.g., <code>.sidebar</code>, <code>.comments</code>) to strip unwanted elements from your Markdown and JSONL files.</li>
<li>Visual Analytics: Visualise exactly which AI bots (ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI, etc.) are accessing your files with a built-in dashboard widget and charts.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Integration: Automatically generates a structured “Products” section including Price, Stock, and SKU.</li>
</ul>
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Clean Tabbed Interface: Organised into General Rules, Content Sourcing, Analytics, Robots.txt, Security, and Tools.</li>
<li>Granular Bot-Specific Rules: Set detailed <code>Allow</code> or <code>Disallow</code> rules for individual AI crawlers (<code>GPTBot</code>, <code>Google-Extended</code>, etc.).</li>
<li>“Block All by Default” Mode: Create a secure “whitelist” by blocking all crawlers by default and only allowing the bots you explicitly enable.</li>
<li>Settings Import & Export: Perfect for agencies. Easily back up, restore, and migrate your settings between sites with JSON import/export.</li>
<li>Advanced Scheduling: Regenerate your file on save, manually, or on a recurring schedule (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly).</li>
<li>Safety Validator: Prevents accidental blocking of all traffic in <code>robots.txt</code>.</li>
</ul>
