r3472434 r3473181 1 1 === AI Discovery Files === 2 2 Contributors: bsolveit 3 Tags: ai, llms.txt, ai visibility, seo, chatgpt3 Tags: ai, llms.txt, chatgpt, ai visibility, ai seo 4 4 Requires at least: 6.2 5 5 Tested up to: 6.9 … … 9 9 License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html 10 10 11 Generate AI Discovery Files so AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can correctly discover and cite yourwebsite.11 Help AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity correctly discover, understand, and cite your WordPress website. 12 12 13 13 == Description == 14 14 15 AI Discovery Files are machine-readable files that tell AI systems who you are, what you do, how your content may be used, and how to refer to your brand correctly.15 **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. 16 16 17 Without these files, AI systems guess — and they often get it wrong. They confuse your business with competitors, fabricate services you don't offer, and misrepresent your brand.17 **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 `robots.txt` for AI — except instead of telling crawlers what to ignore, you tell AI systems what to get right. 18 18 19 This plugin generates up to 10 AI Discovery Files directly from your WordPress data. No coding required.19 This is the **only WordPress plugin that generates all 10 AI Discovery Files** defined in the [AI Discovery Files Specification](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/). 20 20 21 = Wh at are AI Discovery Files?=21 = Why your website needs AI Discovery Files = 22 22 23 AI Discovery Files are a set of standardised files placed at the root of your website, similar to how `robots.txt` tells search engines what to crawl and `security.txt` provides security contact information. 23 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. 24 25 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. 26 27 = All 10 AI Discovery Files = 24 28 25 29 The [AI Discovery Files Specification](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/specifications/) defines 10 file types across three implementation tiers: … … 44 48 * `robots-ai.txt` — AI crawler-specific directives 45 49 50 Most competing plugins only generate `llms.txt`. This plugin generates **all 10 files**, giving you complete coverage across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and every other major AI system. 51 46 52 = How it works = 47 53 … … 56 62 57 63 * **Auto-detection** — pulls your site name, tagline, pages, theme, and WordPress version automatically 64 * **All 10 file types** — the only plugin that generates every AI Discovery File, not just llms.txt 58 65 * **Three implementation tiers** — start with Essential and expand when ready 59 66 * **Live preview** — see exactly what each file contains before enabling it 60 67 * **Validation** — checks files against the specification and flags issues 61 68 * **Conflict detection** — warns if physical files already exist at the same URLs 69 * **Directory verification** — verify domain ownership for the [AI Visibility Directory](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/) without FTP 62 70 * **No lock-in** — disable the plugin and the files simply stop being served 63 71 * **Developer-friendly** — filters for every generated file and collected data point … … 65 73 = Who needs this? = 66 74 67 Every website that wants AI systems to represent it accurately. If your business appears in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity responses, AI Discovery Files help ensure those responses are correct. 75 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. 76 77 Built by [AI Visibility](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/), the publisher of the AI Discovery Files Specification and the team behind the [AI Visibility Checker](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/ai-visibility-checker/). 68 78 69 79 == Installation == … … 76 86 6. Preview your files on the Preview tab 77 87 88 After activating your files, use the free [AI Visibility Checker](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/ai-visibility-checker/) to verify everything is working correctly. 89 78 90 == Frequently Asked Questions == 91 92 = How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT? = 93 94 Install AI Discovery Files. ChatGPT and other AI systems look for structured, machine-readable signals when deciding which businesses to mention. AI Discovery Files provide exactly those signals — your identity, services, brand rules, and FAQs in formats AI systems can parse. This is the most direct step you can take to get mentioned by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. 95 96 = What is AI visibility? = 97 98 AI visibility is whether AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can correctly discover, understand, and cite your website. Search engines show a list of links. AI systems give one answer. If your website isn't AI-visible, you won't be that answer — your competitor will be. 79 99 80 100 = What is llms.txt? = 81 101 82 `llms.txt` is a Markdown file placed at the root of your website that provides AI systems with a structured description of your business — your name, what you do, contact information, and key pages. It was created by Jeremy Howard at Answer.AI and has been adopted by companies including Stripe, Cloudflare, and Dell. 102 `llms.txt` is a Markdown file placed at the root of your website that provides AI systems with a structured description of your business — your name, what you do, contact information, and key pages. It was created by Jeremy Howard at Answer.AI and has been adopted by companies including Stripe, Cloudflare, and Dell. This plugin generates `llms.txt` plus 9 additional AI Discovery Files for complete coverage. 103 104 = How is this different from other llms.txt plugins? = 105 106 Most plugins only generate a single file — `llms.txt`. This plugin generates **all 10 AI Discovery Files** defined in the specification, including `ai.txt` (permissions), `identity.json` (structured identity), `brand.txt` (naming rules), `faq-ai.txt` (pre-answered questions), and more. One file tells AI your name. Ten files give AI systems everything they need to cite you accurately. 107 108 = Will this help me appear in Google AI Overviews? = 109 110 Yes. Google AI Overviews pull information from websites that provide clear, structured, and authoritative content. AI Discovery Files give Google's AI systems explicit signals about your business identity, services, and permissions — making it easier for AI Overviews to represent you correctly. 111 112 = What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)? = 113 114 Generative engine optimisation (GEO), also called answer engine optimisation (AEO), is the practice of making your website discoverable and citable by AI-powered search engines. AI Discovery Files are a foundational part of any GEO strategy — they provide the structured data AI systems need to find and cite your business. 115 116 = Does this replace my SEO plugin? = 117 118 No. AI Discovery Files work alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and other SEO plugins. Traditional SEO targets search engines. AI Discovery Files target AI systems. You need both. Think of it as adding an AI layer on top of your existing SEO. 83 119 84 120 = Will this affect my SEO? = 85 121 86 AI Discovery Files are served with `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` headers, so they won't appear in search results . However, they help AI-powered search features (like Google AI Overviews) represent your business accurately, which can improve your overall AI visibility.122 AI Discovery Files are served with `X-Robots-Tag: noindex` headers, so they won't appear in search results themselves. However, they help AI-powered search features (like Google AI Overviews and Bing Copilot) represent your business accurately, which can improve your overall AI visibility and referral traffic. 87 123 88 124 = Does this work with caching plugins? = 89 125 90 126 Yes. AI Discovery Files are served via WordPress rewrite rules with appropriate cache headers. They are compatible with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and other popular caching plugins. 127 128 = Which AI systems read these files? = 129 130 AI Discovery Files are designed for all major AI systems including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Copilot (Microsoft), and other large language models. The formats are based on open standards — any AI system that crawls websites can read them. 91 131 92 132 = What if I already have a physical llms.txt file? = … … 105 145 }, 10, 3 );` 106 146 147 = Will this slow down my website? = 148 149 No. The plugin only runs when its specific URLs are requested (e.g., `/llms.txt`). It adds zero overhead to your normal page loads. Files are generated on-the-fly from cached settings data. 150 107 151 = What happens if I deactivate the plugin? = 108 152 109 The files simply stop being served. Your settings are preserved so you can reactivate later. If you delete the plugin entirely, all settings are removed. 153 The files simply stop being served. Your settings are preserved so you can reactivate later. If you delete the plugin entirely, all settings are removed cleanly. 154 155 = How do I check if my AI Discovery Files are working? = 156 157 Use the free [AI Visibility Checker](https://www.ai-visibility.org.uk/ai-visibility-checker/) to scan your site after enabling your files. It validates every AI Discovery File, checks for conflicts, and gives you a score with actionable recommendations. 110 158 111 159 == Screenshots == -
