About OpenComment
Cold email is invisible in the AI era. Comments are not.
Our Story
OpenComment AI was founded in 2024 with a simple observation: cold email is increasingly filtered and ignored in the AI era, while public LinkedIn comments remain human, contextual, and visible to entire professional networks.
We built OpenComment to help B2B founders, marketing teams, and sales teams monitor the right people, spot timely engagement opportunities, and show up with relevant comments — turning public conversations into a scalable growth channel.
Our Mission
Make relationship intelligence accessible to every B2B team. Instead of competing in saturated inboxes, our customers earn visibility by contributing value in the conversations their prospects, KOLs, and clients already care about.
Platform
OpenComment combines four modules with customizable AI comment profiles and a published Chrome extension:
- Activity Monitor — Track prospects, KOLs, clients, and competitors with daily LinkedIn activity scraping, contact groups, and AI-assisted comment suggestions on their latest posts.
- Contact Discovery — AI-powered search that finds new LinkedIn contacts matching your ideal customer profile and onboards them into Activity Monitor groups for ongoing tracking.
- Conference Reach Out — Find LinkedIn posts about a conference (optionally filtered by keywords), review AI-scored results, select authors, and launch comment campaigns before or during events.
- Targeted Reach Out — Upload a list of target LinkedIn accounts, fetch their latest posts, and generate AI reply suggestions for known prospects you want to engage.
Create, update, and assign custom comment styles and commenter personas at the company level. Comment generation pipelines use these profiles so suggestions match your brand voice and the perspective you want to show up with.
The OpenComment AI Assistant Chrome extension brings comment suggestions and automation workflows into LinkedIn via a browser sidepanel. Available on the Chrome Web Store. Download OpenComment AI Assistant.
What We Believe
- Relevance beats volume — one thoughtful comment outperforms a hundred generic touchpoints.
- Users stay in control — AI suggests, posting happens only in sessions you trigger.
- Public data only — no LinkedIn credentials required.
- Transparency builds trust — clear audit trails for every suggestion and action.
