# AI Features and Integrations Reference
Complete guide for Mintlify's AI-powered features including AI assistant, llms.txt, MCP, and automation.
## AI Assistant
Built-in AI assistant for documentation search and Q&A.
### Configuration
Enable AI assistant in `docs.json`:
```json
{
"search": {
"prompt": "Ask me anything about our documentation..."
}
}
```
### Features
**Conversational Search:**
- Natural language queries
- Context-aware responses
- Source citations from docs
- Follow-up questions
**Capabilities:**
- Search across all documentation
- Answer technical questions
- Provide code examples
- Navigate to relevant pages
- Suggest related content
### Customization
**Custom Prompt:**
```json
{
"search": {
"prompt": "How can I help you with the API?",
"placeholder": "Ask about authentication, endpoints, or SDKs..."
}
}
```
**Search Scope:**
```json
{
"search": {
"scope": ["api", "guides"],
"exclude": ["internal", "deprecated"]
}
}
```
## llms.txt
Optimize documentation for LLM consumption and indexing.
### What is llms.txt?
Special file format that makes documentation machine-readable for AI models:
- Structured content for LLMs
- Optimized token usage
- Hierarchical organization
- Metadata for context
### Auto-Generation
Mintlify automatically generates `llms.txt` from your documentation.
**Access:** `https://docs.example.com/llms.txt`
### Manual Configuration
Customize llms.txt generation:
```json
{
"ai": {
"llmsTxt": {
"enabled": true,
"include": ["introduction", "api/*", "guides/*"],
"exclude": ["internal/*", "deprecated/*"],
"format": "structured"
}
}
}
```
### llms.txt Format
Generated file structure:
```
# Product Name Documentation
## Overview
Brief description of product and documentation
## Getting Started
> /introduction
Quick introduction to get started
> /quickstart
Step-by-step quickstart guide
