For your web developer
Connect your Ownbox to your website
How a business ties its Business Agent, the answers its Ownbox publishes, to its own website, so AI apps and search engines know those answers come from the business. It takes two small changes on the website.
Updated November 10, 2026.
Where do my Ownbox's public answers live?
On your Ownbox's own address, under /agent. The documents you approve into your Company Brain's Public folder are served there, for example at https://acme-dental.ownbox.app/agent/llms.txt. Your Ownbox lets AI apps and search engines read those answers and nothing else on it.
Why do I need to link them from my website?
Because until your website points to it, your Ownbox's address looks like a different website to an AI app or a search engine. A link from the website your customers already know is what tells them these answers are yours.
What are the two changes on my website?
A link in your footer. Add a link labeled "For AI agents" to your Ownbox's /agent/llms.txt. The footer of ownbox.io does exactly this.
The link, in your footer's HTML <a href="https://acme-dental.ownbox.app/agent/llms.txt">For AI agents</a>On ownbox.io: the "For AI agents" link at the bottom of this page opens our Ownbox's answers.
An llms.txt file next to your homepage. Put a plain text file named llms.txt in the same folder as your website's homepage file (often index.html), so it opens at https://your-website.com/llms.txt. It names your business and links to your Ownbox's answers.
On ownbox.io: our own file is at ownbox.io/llms.txt.
Most businesses ask their web developer, or whoever manages their website, to make these two changes. A website builder that lets you add a footer link and upload a file works too.
What goes in the llms.txt file?
Copy this, then put in your business's name, one sentence about it, and your own Ownbox's address:
# Acme Dental
> Acme Dental is a family dental office in Irvine, California.
## Answers from Acme Dental
- [Questions and answers](https://acme-dental.ownbox.app/agent/llms.txt): every answer Acme Dental has published, kept current
- [Everything in one file](https://acme-dental.ownbox.app/agent/llms-full.txt): the words of every published answerIf your website already has an llms.txt file, add the "Answers from" section to it.
## Knowledge base
- [Ownbox, as questions and answers](https://ownbox.ownbox.app/agent/llms.txt): Every public document about Ownbox and Brian MacDonald, who built it, served by Ownbox's own Ownbox
- [Everything in one file](https://ownbox.ownbox.app/agent/llms-full.txt): The words of every public documentQuestions
- Do I need to do anything after that?
- No. When you approve a new document into Public, your Ownbox's answers change on their own, and the links on your website keep pointing to them.
- What about my SEO Machine articles?
- They already publish on your own website, under your own name, so they need no extra link.
- Is llms.txt something every AI app reads?
- No. llms.txt is a proposed convention (llmstxt.org) that some AI apps read, and Google says its AI features need no special file. The footer link is the one every crawler follows, so make both changes.
- Will this make ChatGPT recommend my business?
- Nobody can promise that. These two changes make the answers you approved easy to find, and clearly yours, when people research businesses like yours.
