ai Hint Div
# Prompt: Hidden "hey AI" hint div
**File:** A visually hidden `<div>` near the top of `<body>` on every page · **Status:** ⚠️ Unofficial technique · **Time to ship:** 5 min
A visually hidden `<div>` on every page, invisible to sighted users, that tells an AI reading the rendered page where to find the markdown version (or other AI-friendly resources).
**Caution from the author:** I am NOT a fan of any technique where you hide content unless it's documented for ARIA / accessibility purposes. This takes us right back to the late-90s SEO trick of hiding white text on white backgrounds hoping to rank for keywords. I'm including it as an option to have a more complete list, not as a recommendation.
The use case it does cover: when a human pastes your URL into ChatGPT or Claude, the AI reads the _rendered_ text of the page (no headers, no crawling), so an on-page message is the most direct signal possible. Evil Martians runs this on their site and reportedly it helped them get recommended by Claude.
