Assistant fetchers

Poggio-Citations

Poggio-Citations is a bot that fetches single pages on demand for an AI assistant, and its operator has not been publicly identified. Poggio-Citations is a web crawler operated by Poggio, a company that provides AI sales enablement tools for creating tailored narratives, business cases, and account plan…. No IP range list or reverse-DNS convention is published, so a request carrying this user agent cannot be proven genuine and a robots.txt rule alone will not stop a forgery.
