Getting Started

SilentAgent makes your active Shopify catalog discoverable to AI crawlers and agents. After installation the feed is generated automatically. In the dashboard you monitor bot access, manage feeds and copy public URLs.

AI product feed

The feed exposes your catalog through structured endpoints:

  • Active products only — drafts and archived products are excluded.
  • products.json contains the entire catalog; llms.txt is a Markdown file optimized for LLM crawlers.
  • Discounts can be included or excluded from the feed with a toggle in the feed panel.
  • The feed updates automatically on product or discount changes and can be regenerated manually.
  • When the feed is paused, public endpoints return 404 and stored feed files are removed.
  • Shopify's managed /llms.txt (UCP, MCP, Shop Skill) is left untouched. SilentAgent serves the full product catalog at /apps/ai-feed/llms.txt.
  • templates/robots.txt.liquid adds LLMs (Shopify) and LLMs-Full (SilentAgent catalog) lines. Requires write_themes and a Shopify approval for theme files.

Feed URLs

Share these URLs with AI systems or submit llms.txt to crawler programs. You'll find them in the feed URLs panel in the dashboard.

Crawler URLs (shop domain)

Hosted via App Proxy on your shop domain — recommended for production stores.

Fallback (app domain)

Hosted on the app domain; useful for password-protected development stores.

Endpoints

  • products.json — full product catalog as JSON
  • /apps/ai-feed/llms.txt — full product catalog for LLM crawlers (LLMs-Full)
  • /llms.txt — Shopify-managed agent discovery (UCP, MCP, agents.md)
  • products/search.json?q={query} — search across active products (max 50 results)
  • products/{handle}.json — single product by Shopify handle

Submit to llms.txt directories

You can actively submit your shop's llms.txt URL to public AI directories so LLMs and crawlers can find your catalog faster.

llms.txt sites directory

Submit product name, website and llms.txt URL at llmstxt.site/submit — a public directory of llms.txt files following the llmstxt.org standard.

/llms.txt directory

Register your shop in the curated directory via tally.so/r/wAydjB and get listed among companies using the LLMs.txt standard. Entries are reviewed by a curator team.

Submit the catalog URL (/apps/ai-feed/llms.txt) to directories. Shopify's /llms.txt covers transactional agents separately.
