ChatGPT answers questions in a chat. ASCN gets the work done: it integrates into your Telegram, connects your services and runs processes hands-free, around the clock.
Free plan — 500 credits per month
ChatGPT is built as a universal chat assistant. From day one, ASCN was built as an autonomous agent: a goal, a schedule, tools and delivery channels.
Launches on schedules and triggers: sorts your inbox at 8:00, monitors mentions, delivers summaries to Telegram.
Give it a link to a service that's not in the catalog — the agent writes the script itself, authenticates and starts using it.
Assign a task by voice from your phone — the agent in Telegram and Slack replies just like a regular chat partner.
Dozens of working scenarios in a single click. Package your own solution and sell it to clients through the built-in marketplace.
Memory builds itself: name, time zone, preferences, decisions. It survives a closed chat and works across every task.
If it can't find the right skill, it builds one itself, saves it and reuses it in future runs. It improves over time.
ChatGPT is a powerful chat assistant. But a conversation and a working automation are two different things.
ChatGPT replies to a message and waits for the next one. It doesn't start itself in the morning, doesn't react to a new email, doesn't run in the background. Close the tab and the work stops.
ChatGPT doesn't integrate with Gmail, CRM, Telegram or Slack directly. It can explain how to set up an integration, but it can't do it for you.
The GPT Store offers custom chatbots for conversation. Ready-made working automations with integrations, schedules and delivery channels aren't there.
Drop us a message in the chat — a real person answers, not a bot. On higher-tier plans: one-on-one calls with experienced platform users who help you set up your agent for your specific task and walk you through best practices.
Your ASCN agent lives in our cloud and runs tasks 24/7 — while you sleep, rest or focus on something else. No server, no Mac Mini, no always-on computer required — and no infrastructure bills. Set it up once and it just runs.
Hundreds of proven business solutions: find one, install it, and it works — no setup from scratch. The GPT Store has custom chatbots without automations. Our marketplace offers complete, ready-to-run agents.
Everything is set up through a simple interface. You don't need to understand how it works under the hood — no server, no Python, no deploys. Even long, multi-step chains of actions run without a single line of code. It just works — right away, from the very first run.
ChatGPT is a great tool for conversation. ASCN was built for something else: it integrates with your services, kicks off chains of actions and runs hands-free — around the clock.
