Overview

Cold email barely gets replies, and ads cost more every month. Meanwhile, real people sit in public discussions right now, describing in their own words the exact problem your product solves. Finding them by hand means hours of reading Reddit, forums and niche threads every day. A part-time lead-gen VA for that work runs $800–2,000 a month.

Native Comment Finder is a ready-made AI agent for the ASCN platform built for lead generation in comments. It takes the search and the prep off your plate:

• 🔍 Finds fresh discussions — pulls posts from the last few days where someone states the pain your product solves
• 🎯 Scores every lead by a rubric — rates ICP fit and sorts leads into hot, warm and cold, not by gut feel
• ✍️ Writes a ready native comment — helps with the problem first, mentions the product once and on point, in a real person's voice
• 📋 Checks community rules — reads the self-promo norms so you don't get banned for promotion
• 📲 Sends a card to Telegram — where to post, the comment text, and a rules check; you press Send yourself

You run it from a normal chat in ASCN or Telegram. The agent never posts on its own — it prepares the text and the place, the click stays with you.

How the agent works

No coding needed. You run everything from a chat.

1. Install from the marketplace. Open the agent page, click "Use template" — it lands in your account in under 5 minutes.
2. Connect services in chat. Type "Connect Telegram" and authorize in one tap. For more reach, connect Exa or Apify search as an MCP server, also from chat.
3. Tune it to your niche. Tell the agent about your product, your ICP, and the words people use for their pain. Onboarding takes about five minutes.
4. Run discovery. Say "find 3 fresh posts for my product" — the agent returns cards: link, lead score, a ready comment, and a rules check.
5. Post manually. Open the link, paste the comment, hit send. Reddit and forums ban auto-posting, so you post.
6. Manage from one chat. Adjust the tone, respond to cards, set a small daily digest of 2–3 leads to Telegram at 9:00.

Why this beats hiring a lead-gen rep

• One subscription instead of a salary. A specialist who hunts leads in communities runs $800–2,000 a month. The agent covers the search and comment prep for the price of a plan.
• Searches daily without burning out. Reading hundreds of posts, filtering noise and drafting comments wears a person down. The agent does it evenly, by the same rules.
• Your account reputation stays safe. A rules check before every card, manual posting, and one honest product mention keep you off the ban list.
• Scale without adding headcount. Need a second agent for another niche or language? Create it in minutes instead of hiring and training.

What users get

Across rollouts the agent delivers roughly 10–20 qualified cards a week per niche and takes 3–5 hours of manual forum reading off your day. The cards worth posting are the ones that pass the rules check and the ICP score.

Results depend on your niche, how precisely the pain and customer words are described, and which search sources are connected. The agent handles the search and the prep; your product and setup decide how many leads convert.

FAQ

Do I need coding skills?
No. The agent installs from the marketplace and is set up through a normal chat: you say what you need, and it connects services and creates tasks.

Does the agent post comments itself?
No, by design. Reddit, forums and social networks ban auto-posting. The agent prepares the text and the place; you publish manually, one click from the card.

How is my data kept safe?
Connections run through official OAuth, tokens and keys sit in encrypted storage and never reach chats or logs. Each agent is isolated, and you can revoke access to any service anytime.

How is an ASCN agent different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers questions. The agent does the work: it finds discussions, scores leads, writes comments and sends cards on a schedule while you focus elsewhere.

Can I tune the agent to my niche?
Yes. Through IDENTITY.md and SOUL.md, the finder skill and the knowledge base, you set your product, ICP, pain words and tone rules.

Which services does the agent work with?
Web search works out of the box. You can add Telegram for cards and digests, plus Exa or Apify for reach across Reddit, X and forums.

What if my product isn't described yet?
The agent runs a short onboarding: it asks about your product, ICP and pain words, and can run a demo on a sample niche while you set it up.

How do I track what the agent does?
The Tasks section shows the schedule, status and run history. The funnel — Found · Qualified · Ready to post · Posted · Replied — arrives in chat or Telegram.

Can I switch channels, say from Telegram to Slack?
Yes. Connect the channel you want; the search and comment-prep logic stays the same. Check current plans at ascn.ai/pricing (as of 12.06.2026, the Start plan is $29/mo).
