## What is llms.txt?
9
-
[LLMs.txt](https://llmstxt.org/) is an emerging standard so that websites can easily expose information to AI developer tools.
10
-
LLMs thrive on concise, structured information, and `llms.txt` help them locate and interpret key information in your developer documentation with ease.
11
-
No configuration required--your `llms.txt` files are automatically generated and maintained, just like a `sitemap.xml` or `robots.txt`.

+
[llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org/) is a standard for exposing website content to AI developer tools. Fern automatically generates and maintains `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` files for your documentation site.
