# Octen Docs > Octen is the search infrastructure for AI: a real-time web search foundation that lets LLMs, agents, and apps reason with the world's latest information. These are the official technical docs for the Octen API platform. Every page in this index is linked with a `.md` extension and returns clean Markdown, which is what agents should fetch instead of the HTML page. `https://docs.octen.ai/llms-full.txt` contains the full text of every page in a single file. Requests to any page URL with `Accept: text/markdown` also return Markdown. ## Overview - [Welcome](https://docs.octen.ai/overview/welcome.md): Real-time access to the world's latest information for LLMs and agents. -
