ChatGPT handles 200M+ queries daily. Perplexity is the go-to for product research. When users ask these AI engines "what's the best tool for X?", they get recommendations — and those recommendations drive real signups.

The question is: does your SaaS appear in those recommendations?

How AI Chatbots Choose Products

AI models don't randomly pick products. They choose based on:

Structured data availability — Can the crawler understand what your product does?
Cross-platform mentions — Is your product cited on multiple reputable sources?
llms.txt presence — Do you have a dedicated AI-readable product description?
Comparison content — Are you positioned relative to alternatives?
Factual accuracy — Can your claims be verified across sources?

Step-by-Step: Getting Listed

Step 1: Create llms.txt (30 minutes)

Create /llms.txt at your domain root:

# YourProduct
> One-line value proposition

## What it does
2-3 sentences about core functionality.

## Who it's for
Target audience and use cases.

## Key features
- Feature 1: Description
- Feature 2: Description
- Feature 3: Description

## Pricing
Free tier: [details]
Pro: $X/month

## How it compares to [Competitor]
Brief comparison.
