# === ABOUT THIS FILE ===
# This llms.txt helps AI search engines understand:
# 1. What this site is about (AEO experiments in public)
# 2. The content structure (experiments, tools, course, guides)
# 3. When content was last updated
# 4. How content is organized by topic
#
# I'm sharing this because I couldn't find clear guidance on llms.txt format.
# This is an experiment - no idea if it actually helps AI find my content.
# If you want to generate your own, I built a tool: /tools/llms-txt-generator/
