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.

Not a browser plugin, but you can prefix URLs with `pure.md/` to get the pure markdown of that page. It's not quite a 1:1 to llms.txt as it doesn't explain the entire domain, but works well for one-off pages. [disclaimer: I'm the maintainer]

I've been actually using it for my own consumption (I am not an llm...) It's great! thanks
