+
+Many API consumers now rely on AI tools to help them quickly discover API capabilities. Conversational tools such as ChatGPT or Claude can be fed with documentation intended for humans, but that extra "human context" gives them more noise, impacting the AI tools' relevance and increasing token costs. 
+
+Our latest release provides these tools with the right context, empowering your API doc consumers through their favorite AI tools.
+
+## Ask AI 
+Users can now easily ask questions about an API in their go-to conversational tools and get top-notch results. An "Ask AI" option has been added in documentation next to its introduction, x-topics, groups, and operations, offering access to ChatGPT and Claude with the right, narrowed-down context, alongside a one-click Markdown access.

+
+## Markdown rendering
+Bump.sh now offers an alternative context optimized for AI tools through Markdown rendering.
+
+To access the Markdown version of a documentation, simply add `.md` at the end of the URL (or `/source.md` if you have a custom domain, when the URL is the root of your documentation).

+## llms.txt
+LLMs crawlers face similar challenges when crawling API docs: they don't know what they're looking for, and are flooded with an overabundance of information. `llms.txt` provides context, telling crawlers what information can be retrieved behind each page of a documentation.
+
+`llms.txt` is available on both hubs and docs, by adding `/llms.txt` at the end of the URL.
