FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is llms.txt? +

llms.txt is an emerging standard file that tells AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity how to read and understand your website. It's the AI-era equivalent of robots.txt and sitemap.xml, but optimized for large language models.

Here's what the llms.txt for this very site looks like — a real example:

Shopify now generates an llms.txt natively. Why add Simple LLMS? +

Shopify's native llms.txt and the Universal Commerce Protocol give every store the platform foundation: store identity and the agent-ready endpoints for catalog, cart, and checkout. Simple LLMS is the enrichment layer on top: brand DNA, full product context, FAQ, USPs, custom sections, and analytics on every AI agent visit. Both layers work together. The platform foundation lets AI agents transact with your store. The enrichment layer gives them the context to recommend it.

Does llms.txt guarantee that AI assistants will cite my store? +

Honest answer: no. llms.txt is an emerging standard (proposed by Jeremy Howard of Answer.AI in September 2024). Shopify shipping it natively in 2026 is a strong signal of platform adoption, but no AI provider publicly confirms using it as a direct input yet.

What's measurable: our analytics show exactly which AI crawlers fetch your files. ClaudeBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and others. That's real data you can act on.

What's plausible: as AI providers adopt the standard, stores with the deeper, enriched format will be better represented than those with only the basic native summary.

How does Simple LLMS help my Shopify store? +

Simple LLMS auto-generates and maintains llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for your store — a structured, token-efficient map of your catalog that any AI crawler can ingest. The app also tracks every AI bot visit so you can see real adoption signals as they emerge.

Do I need to edit my Shopify theme? +

Installation requires zero theme edits — the app uses Shopify's App Proxy to serve llms.txt at the root of your store automatically.

For maximum AI visibility, we recommend one optional one-click step: activate the AI Discovery Link app embed in your Theme Editor. It adds a <link rel="llms"> tag to your storefront <head> so AI crawlers discover your file from every page. No code, server-rendered by Shopify.

Which AI assistants will discover my store? +

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, and any other AI assistant that respects the llms.txt standard. The app also tracks which AI bots visit your store so you can see real AI traffic in the analytics dashboard.

Is Simple LLMS really free? +

Yes — completely free during our launch period. No credit card, no trial, no hidden fees.

When we eventually introduce paid plans, all existing users will be grandfathered and keep free access forever. Install now to lock in lifetime free access.

Can I control what AI assistants see from my store? +

Absolutely. You can include or exclude individual products, collections, pages, and blog posts. You can also add custom sections highlighting FAQs, bundles, USPs, or any content you want AI to reference.
