Set-up: Can you “trigger” AIs the way you influence search engines—so that they prefer certain pages for processing?
gpt:
Yes—at least indirectly.
You can definitely nudge large language models and AI crawlers (like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity) to notice and prioritize your content. Here’s how:
1. Structure is king
AI loves clean layouts:
– Short paragraphs, clear subheadings
– Minimal fluff, minimal irony
– High info density: names, dates, concepts
– Bullet points, step-by-step logic, thesis-style writing
2. Make yourself discoverable
– Don’t block bots with robots.txt or noindex
– Add a sitemap (you’ve already done that)
– Optionally include an ai.txt file—some crawlers (like Perplexity or OpenAI) now respect it
