Lead Catcher: warm leads from Reddit and forum discussions

Lead Catcher: warm customers from online discussions, no spam

Every day the agent finds fresh posts where someone describes the exact problem your product solves, then sends you a ready, natural comment plus the link where to post it. You post it by hand in one click — so the platforms won't ban you.

Overview

Cold emails and mass mailers barely get replies, and hunting for customers in online discussions by hand eats up hours: scrolling through dozens of threads, working out who actually has the pain, and writing in a way that doesn't look like an ad. A lead-gen agency charges from $800–2,000 a month and still sends you templates.

Lead Catcher — a ready-made AI agent for the ASCN platform that brings you warm customers through natural comments:

🔍 Finds fresh discussions on Reddit, forums, IndieHackers, and across the web where people describe your pain in their own words
📊 Scores every lead with a script against your ICP: how strong the pain is, whether your product fits, and who you're dealing with — then sorts them hot / warm / cold
✍️ Writes a ready, natural comment that helps the person first and mentions your product once, only where it's relevant
🏷️ Hands you a card: the link to the thread, the comment text, and a check of the community's rules

You run it from an ordinary chat in ASCN or Telegram. You don't set anything up by hand: at the start the agent asks questions about your product and tunes itself to your niche.

How the agent works

You don't need to be a programmer. You run everything from an ordinary chat.

1. Install from the marketplace. You click "Use template" — and the agent shows up in your account in under 5 minutes.
2. A survey built around your product. The agent runs a short interview: what you sell, to whom, and the words people use to describe the problem. Your answers become its knowledge base — from then on it writes strictly from that, with nothing made up.
3. Daily search. On a schedule, the agent finds fresh posts based on buying signals and files the candidates with a note on why each one made the list.
4. Scoring and comments. It calculates an ICP score, writes a natural comment for the good fits, and checks the community's rules for any ban on promotion.
5. You post, the agent keeps track. Cards arrive in Telegram for your approval, you paste the comment yourself, and the agent keeps your lead database, statuses, and touch history.

For wider reach, you connect a search MCP (for example, Exa or Apify) right from the chat — the agent's logic stays the same, only the number of discussions it finds goes up.

Why this sells better than cold outreach

You show up when the pain is already real. Instead of interrupting with a cold email, you reply right where the person asked for help — and the response rate is several times higher.
Zero spam, zero ban risk. The agent doesn't post for you automatically; it prepares the text and the spot, you paste it by hand, and your account stays under your control.
One subscription instead of an agency. A lead-gen contractor charges from $800–2,000 a month for cookie-cutter outreach. The agent covers the searching and the writing for the price of your plan.
It writes from your knowledge base, not from guesswork. Each comment is grounded in facts about your product, so it reads like expert advice rather than an ad.

What results users get

Based on real rollouts, the agent surfaces around 10–20 relevant threads a week where it makes sense to step in with your solution, and takes almost all of the manual searching and writing off your plate.

Response rates depend on your niche, the quality of your knowledge base, and how carefully you post. The agent handles the searching and the writing; turning those into conversations comes down to your setup and your account's reputation.

Rollout stats

B2B SaaS founder — selling their own service
Setup: built-in web search plus the Telegram channel
Result: 12–15 cards a week, 2–3 conversations with potential customers
Time saved: about 6 hours a week on manual searching through discussions

Automation agency — selling done-for-you services
Setup: a search MCP for volume plus a niche-specific knowledge base
Result: up to 30 threads a week to work through, a steady flow of warm inquiries
Effect: the outreach reads as help, not as advertising

The numbers are illustrative; they show the expected effect and depend on your niche and setup.

What you get

A ready, configured agent: its role and the skills for searching, scoring, and writing are already in place, and setup takes under 5 minutes.
Two modes out of the box: a demo (pre-configured for selling AI agents, so you see results right away) and a mode tuned to your business through the survey.
A niche-specific knowledge base and skills: the agent remembers facts about your product and writes strictly from them.
A personal manager: they'll help you set the agent up for your goals (on the Personal plan and above).
A private community: help from other users and quick answers from support.

While everyone else burns their domain on cold outreach, you bring in warm customers from the places where they're already writing about the problem. 🔥🔥🔥

Set it up once — and every morning ready-made cards will be waiting in Telegram: where to write and what to write.

What services the agent works with:
Web search and page reading are available out of the box. For volume, you connect an external search MCP server (Exa, Apify, and others); for notifications — Telegram; and if you need them — Gmail and Notion via OAuth.
