URL
Uniform Resource Locator
In one sentenceA web address: the full text you put in a browser to reach a specific page, file or resource.
What it means
A URL like https://evyus.com/glossary/llm/?ref=post#example has parts: the protocol (https), the domain (evyus.com), the path (/glossary/llm/), optional query parameters after ? (ref=post) and an optional anchor after # that jumps to a spot on the page.
Query parameters carry information: UTM tags for tracking, search terms, or a pre-filled question.
How to use it
- Clean links before sharing: tracking junk after the ? makes them long and ugly.
- Never put private information (emails, passwords, personal data) in a URL. URLs end up in logs and browser history.
How AI helps
Many AI tools can be opened with a pre-filled prompt in the URL. The evyAI agent works this way: app.evyai.com/app/chat/?q=your question.
