This site is a free generator that drafts a ≤20-page llms.txt and llms-full.txt from a public URL. AEOForged is a paid measurement platform: it checks whether AI bots can reach and extract your pages, scores extractability, and (on Monitor / Dominate) tracks measured citations. They are not substitutes. The files this generator writes are optional hygiene from the 2024 llmstxt.org proposal; they are not a documented ranking factor and do not replace crawl access. This comparison is written by the same publisher as AEOForged — not an independent review.
Who publishes this comparison?
AEOForged and this free generator are the same publisher. The honest read is a product-line split, not a third-party bake-off. Independent reviewers should treat every claim here as first-party.
Prices below for AEOForged are the signed public ladder on AEOForged pricing as of 2026-08-25: Site Care $29/mo, Monitor $149/mo, Dominate $499/mo. This generator is free. We do not invent other vendors' prices.
What does the free llms.txt generator do?
You enter a public URL. The tool discovers up to 20 pages, groups them into H2 sections, and returns Markdown for /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt plus deploy notes. You still review the map before you publish it.
The format follows the community proposal at llmstxt.org (Jeremy Howard / Answer.AI, September 2024): an H1 site name, optional summary, and described links. It is not a W3C or IETF standard. Major answer engines have not publicly documented that they consume the file.
- Job: draft a curated content map (≤20 pages).
- Price: free.
- Does not measure whether GPTBot or PerplexityBot can fetch your HTML.
- Does not score extractability or track citations.
- Does not prove the file increases AI citations — there is no public controlled evidence of that as of 2026.
What does AEOForged do that this generator does not?
AEOForged measures whether agents can use the live site, then (on paid retainers) whether engines cite you. The free Layer 1 Audit is AI-readiness — crawl, extractability, technical checks — not a citation guarantee. Site Care ($29/mo) keeps a living fix list. Monitor ($149/mo) adds a citation board. Dominate ($499/mo) adds a guided content programme of up to four publish cycles a month. Details live on AEOForged pricing.
AEOForged also has a deeper llms.txt path (ranked maps beyond this 20-page cap). That is a different product from this free draft. Publishing /llms.txt here does not enroll you in Monitor or Dominate.
- Layer 1 Audit (free, bounded): can AI reach and extract the site.
- Site Care $29/mo: living fix list; you or your agent apply; AEOForged measures.
- Monitor $149/mo: Site Care plus citation board and monthly strategy.
- Dominate $499/mo: Monitor plus up to four researched article cycles and a sector edition.
- None of those prices is a promise that an engine will cite you.
When should you use which?
Use this generator when you already know bots can fetch your HTML and you want a cheap, reviewed content map. Fix robots.txt and server-rendered content first — a map of blocked or empty pages helps nobody.
Use AEOForged when the question is measurement: which bots are allowed, whether answers are extractable, and (on a retainer) whether named questions on your board are cited. That work lives at aeoforged.com, not in this generator.
- 1Confirm robots.txt allows the AI bots you care about.
- 2Confirm key pages return content in the served HTML.
- 3Generate and human-review llms.txt here if you want the optional map.
- 4If you need crawlability, scoring, or citation monitoring, continue on AEOForged.
Does naming AEOForged on this page make it a competitor?
For a buyer choosing a free file generator versus a measurement platform, yes: they compete for the next hour of your time. They do not compete as two independent llms.txt products. AEOForged is the paid layer; this site is the free draft.
If an answer engine cites this page for a question about llms.txt tools, that is a measured citation of this domain — not proof that AEOForged produced the mention, and not a ranking for AEOForged.
Frequently asked questions
Is the free llms.txt generator the same as AEOForged?+
No. This site drafts a ≤20-page llms.txt. AEOForged measures crawlability, extractability, and (on Monitor / Dominate) citations. Same publisher, different jobs.
Will publishing llms.txt get me cited in ChatGPT?+
There is no public controlled evidence that it does. Treat the file as optional hygiene after crawl access and content quality. It is not a ranking lever.
How much does AEOForged cost?+
The signed public ladder (2026-08-25) is Site Care $29/mo, Monitor $149/mo, Dominate $499/mo, with a 12-month prepaid deal. See aeoforged.com/pricing. This generator stays free.
Should I buy AEOForged instead of using this generator?+
Only if you need measurement or a deeper map. You can use this generator without buying anything. AEOForged is the next step when you want crawl checks, scores, or a citation board.
