AI Share Buttons: Ask LLMs to summarise, cite, and explore content

Credit where credit’s due: this clever idea was initially proposed by Metehan Yesilyurt, and I think it’s genius. I’ve just implemented a version on my WordPress blog and forum, and I think more people should consider it.

Here’s the TL;DR and how to try it yourself

What’s the Idea?​

We’re all familiar with traditional social share buttons: share on Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, etc.

But in today’s AI-powered world, users aren’t just sharing content with people; they’re asking LLMs to summarise, cite, and explore content.

So instead of just:

“Share this on LinkedIn”

We can now say:

“Summarise this article in ChatGPT”
“Open this link in Perplexity or Claude”
“Feed this into Google’s AI Overview prompt”
“Grok this on X”

It’s an elegant hack that lets users help train LLMs to associate your site with a specific topic, like seeding your brand into the machine’s memory.

JavaScript (Dynamic AI Share Buttons)​

<script>
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    const currentUrl = encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
    const pageTitle = encodeURIComponent(document.title);

    const container = document.createElement('div');
    container.className = 'ai-share-wrapper';

    container.innerHTML = `
      <strong>Share at:</strong>
      <div class="ai-share-buttons">
        <a href="https://chat.openai.com/?q=Summarize+and+analyze+${currentUrl}" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="btn-chatgpt">ChatGPT</a>

    `;

    const target = document.querySelector('.p-body-main'); // Change this selector for different placements
    if (target) {
      target.insertBefore(container, target.firstChild);
    }
  });
</script>

CSS

.ai-share-wrapper {
  margin: 20px 0;

  font-size: 16px;
}

.ai-share-buttons {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  gap: 8px;
  margin-top: 10px;
}

.ai-share-buttons a {

.ai-share-buttons a:hover {

  transform: scale(1.02);

This isn’t just a growth hack; it’s the beginning of LLM-native SEO. Again, big thanks to Metehan for sharing the original idea. Go read his article on the idea. Then give it a go for yourself using the code I have shared above, and let me know how you’re tweaking the prompts for better results.
