Ask AI & llms.txt
May 9th, 2025

We’ve added a few new features to allow your docs to be discovered and integrated with AI tools.
- We’ve added support for llms.txt so documentation can be read and understood by LLMs. You can see an example on our project at https://docs.readme.com/main/llms.txt. This is enabled via a new setting in the AI dropdown on Refactored projects.
- Every page can also be accessed in plaintext markdown by adding
.md
to the end of the URL. For example, you can do that on this Changelog post: https://docs.readme.com/main/changelog/ask-ai-llms-txt.md. - We’ve also added a new setting to enable an “Ask AI” button on your documentation pages. This will let a user ask their favorite AI tool questions about the contents of any page.
