Endpoint:

/robots.txt

Step 2

Sitemap Analysis

AI systems parse your sitemap to understand site structure

What AI Systems Do:

•Extract all public pages and their priorities
•Understand content hierarchy and relationships

Endpoint:

/sitemap-llm.xml

Step 3

AI.txt Reading

AI systems read your AI.txt file for site context

What AI Systems Do:

•Understand your site's purpose and capabilities
•Learn about key resources and contact information
•Get human-readable description of your service

Endpoint:

/.well-known/ai.txt

Step 4

Content Analysis

AI systems analyze your structured content

What AI Systems Do:
