Introducing LLMs.txt

The AI Bouncer Your Website Deserves

Welcome to the future, where even your 404 page has an existential crisis wondering if it's feeding the robots.

Enter: LLMs.txt — the new sheriff in town telling AI what parts of your site are off-limits. Think of it like a VIP bouncer, but instead of checking IDs, it's checking User-Agents like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or the weird cousin MetaCrawler420.

🤖 "Wait, aren’t they just reading my blog like everyone else?"

Well, yes... and also no. These bots are less readers and more like data vampires—they slurp up your content not to enjoy it over a coffee, but to train billion-dollar brains that might someday summarize your entire life's work into a snarky one-liner.

What is LLMs.txt, Really?

• In tech speak:

A plaintext file placed at the root of your site (e.g., you site . com/LLMs.txt) to tell Large Language Models how to behave around your content.

• In real talk:

It’s like saying, “Hey AI, love that you’re smart and all, but stop dumpster-diving my private blog posts for your robot book club.”

Hynit Example LLMs.txt

User-Agent: GPTBot

Allow: /press/

Disallow: /drafts/

Disallow: /weird-thoughts-i-had-at-3am/

User-Agent: ClaudeBot

Disallow: /

User-Agent: *

Disallow: /do-not-feed-the-AI/

Why?
Because Hynit is about that sleek, smart, and sassy life. We want AI to read our polished press pages, not our half-baked shower thoughts.

But Why Should I Care?

Let me guess. You’re thinking:

“Pfft, I’m just a humble cat meme blog, who’s gonna crawl me?”

Surprise: GPTBot loves cat memes. ClaudeBot too. Even Google’s DeepMind might get in line.

If you:

• Own a content-heavy site
• Share personal or proprietary data
• Are building your brand (👀 Hynit)

Then controlling who trains on your words matters. Otherwise, you’ll be the uncredited Shakespeare of AI-generated essays.

How to Hype with hynit and LLMs.txt

1. Create a file called LLMs.txt in your website's root.
2. List your AI terms like a digital prenup.
3. Profit (emotionally, at least) knowing you’ve set boundaries with the bots.

TL;DR

• LLMs.txt is your site's do-not-disturb sign for AI models.
• It works like robots.txt, but for models like ChatGPT, Claude, etc.

• Yes, it’s respected—unless the bot is shady, in which case: yikes.
• Hynit is adopting it, because we’re not just hype. We’re Hynit.

😄 This cartoon-style scene was created with DALL·E (OpenAI’s image generation model), perfectly illustrating the LLMs.txt as the ultimate AI bouncer at the nightclub of your website.

Thanks for reading, liking and sharing!

PS:
Hynit is an example, a non existing brand (for now)
