About this bot

Current observed traffic uses the `quillbot.com` token; older `QuillBot` naming is retained as an alias.
Directory status: Active. Identity classification: Verified with Medium confidence. Identity type: observed-operator-attributed.
Current robots.txt behavior is not sufficiently documented for a stronger claim.
Treat the token as a claimed identity unless corroborated by network/request context.
