llms.txt makes a lot of sense, especially for LLMs to interact with http APIs autonomously.

Seems like you could set a LLM loose and like the Google Bot have it start converting all html pages into llms.txt. Man, the future is crazy.

Couldn’t believe my eyes. The www is truly bankrupt. If anyone has a browser plugin which automatically redirects to llms.txt sign me up.

Website too confusing for humans? Add more design, modals, newsletter pop ups, cookie banners, ads, …

Website too confusing for LLMs? Add an accessible, clean, ad-free, concise, high entropy, plain text summary of your website. Make sure to hide it from the humans!

PS: it should be /.well-known/llms.txt but that feels futile at this point..

PPS: I enjoyed the talk, thanks.

The next version of the llms.txt proposal will allow an llms.txt file to be added at any level of a path, which isn't compatible with /.well-known.

(I'm the creator of the llms.txt proposal.)

PS apologies to jph00. I still believe what I believe but I should have phrased it differently or not at all. Good luck on your endeavors either way.
