<p><strong>AI systems are answering questions about your business right now.</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>AI Discovery Files fix this.</strong> 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.</p>
<p>This is the <strong>only WordPress plugin that generates all 10 AI Discovery Files</strong> defined in the <a href="https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/" rel="nofollow ugc">AI Discovery Files Specification</a>.</p>
<h4>Why your website needs AI Discovery Files</h4>
<p>Without AI Discovery Files, your website is invisible to AI — not ranking poorly, <strong>completely absent from AI responses</strong>. 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.</p>
<p>This is not traditional SEO. This is <strong>AI visibility</strong> — also called generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO). Whatever you call it, it starts with AI Discovery Files.</p>
<h4>All 10 AI Discovery Files</h4>
<p>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:</p>
<p><strong>Essential (start here)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>llms.txt</code> — AI-readable business identity (Markdown)</li>
<li><code>ai.txt</code> — AI usage permissions (plain text)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Recommended</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Complete</strong></p>
<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>
<p>Most competing plugins only generate <code>llms.txt</code>. This plugin generates <strong>all 10 files</strong>, giving you complete coverage across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and every other major AI system.</p>
<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>
<p>Files are generated dynamically from your settings — no files are written to disk, and everything updates automatically when you change your settings.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Auto-detection</strong> — pulls your site name, tagline, pages, theme, and WordPress version automatically</li>
<li><strong>All 10 file types</strong> — the only plugin that generates every AI Discovery File, not just llms.txt</li>
<li><strong>Three implementation tiers</strong> — start with Essential and expand when ready</li>
<li><strong>Live preview</strong> — see exactly what each file contains before enabling it</li>
<li><strong>Validation</strong> — checks files against the specification and flags issues</li>
<li><strong>AI Crawler Analytics</strong> — see which AI bots read your AI Discovery Files, with visual dashboards and CSV export</li>
<li><strong>Discovery File Access tracking</strong> — proof that AI bots are reading the files this plugin generates</li>
<li><strong>robots.txt conflict detection</strong> — warns when your robots.txt contradicts your AI visibility settings</li>
<li><strong>Conflict detection</strong> — warns if physical files already exist at the same URLs</li>
<li><strong>Directory verification</strong> — verify domain ownership for the <a href="https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/" rel="nofollow ugc">AI Visibility Directory</a> without FTP</li>
<li><strong>No lock-in</strong> — disable the plugin and the files simply stop being served</li>
<li><strong>Developer-friendly</strong> — filters for every generated file and collected data point</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who needs this?</h4>
<p>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.</p>
