Is it really useful to generate an llms.txt file in PrestaShop?

[ICAN ENTERPRISE]

I’ve been hearing about llms.txt file for PrestaShop stores. Some say it helps with search engines or AI crawlers, while others think it’s not necessary at all.

• Is anyone here actually generating it for their store?

• Does it provide any real SEO or AI discovery benefits?

• Or is it just another file we don’t really need to worry about?

Curious to know what the community thinks.

I don't think anybody is generating the same. We are working with numerous customers & nobody uses the same one. 

Additionally, there is no impact on SEO. This file is mainly the AI model like ChatGPT etc, to read the content of your website.

@ICAN ENTERPRISE I’ve looked into this recently, and it actually depends on what kind of visibility you’re aiming for. The llms.txt file is starting to gain some traction because certain AI crawlers (like those used for large language models) use it to understand content permissions, kind of like how robots.txt guides traditional search engines.

From what I’ve read, it doesn’t directly impact SEO in the same way a sitemap does, but it can help ensure your content is discoverable (or protected) by AI tools in the future. So, it’s more of a “future-proofing” move than an immediate ranking booster.

There’s a detailed breakdown of how it works and how to add it : Why Your PrestaShop Store Needs an llms.txt File?
