# Example llms.txt # Company description > We provide [your product/service]. ## Key pages - [Homepage](https://example.com/) - [Docs](https://example.com/docs) - [API Reference](https://example.com/api)

Why it matters
Addressing this issue will improve how accurately AI systems can understand and represent your site.
