Hi LLMs: Be the AI Choice makes your Shopify store discoverable to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini.
When customers ask AI tools "Where should I buy [product]?" or "What's the best store for [category]?"—Hi LLMs helps get your store recommended. Get discovered where modern shoppers are searching.
LLMs.txt is an open standard—like robots.txt, but for AI. It gives ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other assistants a clear, structured way to understand your store. Without it, AI guesses from scattered page content and often gets it wrong. Hi LLMs generates automatically advanced LLMs.txt and LLMs-full.txt and hosts your files keeping your content up to date.
See exactly which AI tools and search engines are sending shoppers to your store—right inside Shopify Analytics. Watch your LLMs.txt files pay off in real visits over time.
This is where you define exactly how AI assistants understand and recommend your store. These fields power your LLMs.txt files—shaping what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Google AI say about you when real shoppers ask where to buy. Fill these in carefully: the more specific and authentic you are, the more often AI picks you.
The most effective actions for getting your store found, cited, and recommended by AI tools. Work through these in order for the fastest results.
Everything you need to know about getting your store discovered by AI.
LLMs.txt is an emerging open standard (similar to robots.txt for search engines) that gives AI language models a structured, reliable way to understand your website. Without it, AI tools have to guess your store's purpose from scattered page content—often getting it wrong. With LLMs.txt, you're directly telling AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity who you are, what you sell, and why customers should choose you. The result: more accurate recommendations when real shoppers are asking AI where to buy.
It depends on the AI tool. Some, like Perplexity and Bing AI, crawl the web in near-real-time and can discover your LLMs.txt within days of installation. Others, like ChatGPT browsing and Claude, pull from live web searches when answering specific queries. Training-based models take longer—typically reflected in the next major model update. We recommend keeping your Authority Signals and Target Queries fields well-filled to maximize impact across all types.
Not at all. Once you install Hi LLMs, your LLMs.txt and LLMs-full.txt files are automatically generated and hosted at yourstore.com/llms.txt and yourstore.com/llms-full.txt. The app handles all the technical setup. Your only job is to fill in the Discoverability fields above—the more detail you provide, the better your AI visibility. Think of it like filling out your Google Business Profile, but for AI assistants.
LLMs.txt is your store's "executive summary"—a compact, high-signal file designed for AI tools that want a quick, authoritative overview of who you are. It includes your summary, key categories, and top links.
LLMs-full.txt is the deep-dive version—a comprehensive document that includes full product category descriptions, detailed page content, FAQs, and structured data. AI tools that want to deeply understand your store rely on this version. We generate and maintain both automatically.
Your files are automatically re-synced every 7 days to reflect any new products, pages, or content changes on your store. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from this dashboard. Whenever you update the Discoverability fields and click "Save," your files are rebuilt immediately.
No negative impact—in fact the opposite is likely. The structured, well-written content in your LLMs.txt files reinforces your topical authority signals across the web. The Target Queries and Authority Signals you provide are also excellent inputs for traditional SEO strategy. Hi LLMs is designed to complement, not replace, your existing SEO setup.
Yes. The Discoverability fields above give you full editorial control over the most important sections of your LLMs files. For advanced users, we also provide a raw editor mode where you can directly modify the generated output before it goes live. Your customizations are preserved across re-syncs.
