Recon by Iron Front · v0.22+

AI warm-market CRM that doesn't burn your network.

Auto-blast tools work for 60 days. Then your friends start blocking you. Recon drafts replies that sound like you, tracks every conversation, and refuses to pitch your aunt. Built for the operators who can't afford to torch the people they actually like.

Standalone launch coming Q3 2026 at $39/mo with 14-day trial. Today: included with every IFD subscription.

Auto-blast tools work. Until they don't.

Network marketers hit the same wall around month 3. The DMs that worked stop working. Friends start unfollowing. Replies dry up. Here's why:

The 90-day reputation cliff

Auto-blast tools work for 60-90 days. Then your warm market starts unfollowing, muting, or quietly blocking you. Templated DMs are pattern-recognizable — eventually everyone notices the same line going to all their friends.

Pitching the wrong people

Auto-DM tools don't know your aunt is your aunt. They pitch her the same way they pitch a stranger. The damage to family relationships is hard to walk back.

Generic-sounding drafts

If your auto-reply could've been written for any business in any niche, it doesn't represent yours. Generic = ignorable. The bot stops working the day prospects start pattern-matching the templates.

Built different. Here's what that means.

Four things Recon does that the typical auto-DM tool doesn't. Each one is the difference between automation that helps and automation that costs you relationships.

Per-contact memory

Every conversation tracked, classified, and remembered. When you DM the same prospect three weeks later, Recon knows what you already pitched — so you don't re-pitch the same offer or open a closing message with 'hey just checking in.'

Voice-grounded drafts

Drafts trained on YOUR brand voice + knowledge vault, not generic templates. Auto-blast tools send the same 'Sounds awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!' to everyone. Recon's drafts reference what they actually said, in the way you actually talk.

Knows your aunt from your prospect

Three-axis classification per contact: who they are to YOU (family / friend / acquaintance / business contact), what angle to use (no pitch / business owner / partner / playbook), and how hard to push (build relationship / close now / pure friendship). Family + close-friend hard-override every pitch.

7-day burn-out prevention

Content rotation enforces a value/pitch ratio: at least 5 value posts per week, max 2 pitch posts, never two pitch posts on adjacent days. Auto-blast tools push 'consistent daily content' which is how MLM operators tank their network. We do the math so you don't.

How Recon works

Four steps from install to "AI is helping me without ever sounding like a bot."

STEP 01

Install the Chrome extension

Recon lives in your browser. Works on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Capture context from any profile or thread you visit.

STEP 02

AI drafts your replies and posts

Open a Messenger thread, click Recon, get 3 contextual reply options. Open the news feed, click Compose, get a fresh hook-led post. Voice-matched, knowledge-vault grounded.

STEP 03

You hit Send (always)

Recon NEVER auto-sends to your personal feed or DM threads. Every message gets your manual confirmation. The AI does the typing; you do the publishing.

STEP 04

Recon remembers everything

Every send logged. Every conversation tracked. When you DM the same prospect 3 weeks later, the drafter knows what you already pitched.

Built for operators who care about the relationships.

Network marketers

MLM reps who built their downline through real conversations and don't want a bot torching that. Every contact tagged with relationship; family + close-friend tags hard-override pitches.

Solo founders + agency operators

Founders running their own outreach without an SDR. Recon drafts the messages; you stay accountable for what gets sent. No "the AI accidentally pitched my biggest client" stories.

Compliance-aware sellers

Coaches, consultants, financial advisors who can't afford a templated DM showing up screenshot in a complaint. Every message reviewed by you before send. Every conversation logged.

Questions

How is this different from KLOZR / Smartlead / auto-DM tools?+

Auto-blast tools send the same templated message to everyone. Recon drafts unique replies grounded in your voice + the actual conversation, then waits for you to hit Send. They optimize for volume; we optimize for relationships you don't have to repair later.

Will it pitch my mom?+

No. Family and close-friend tags hard-override every approach. Even if you accidentally set 'biz owner' on your aunt, the drafter still produces no-pitch messages for family-tagged contacts. Three independent picker axes (relationship / approach / goal) make it nearly impossible to mis-route.

Is it actually automated, or do I do all the work?+

Drafts are automated. Sending is manual. Auto-publish is enabled for connected FB Pages and LinkedIn personal feed when you approve a post in the swipe queue — those go out without further input. Personal-feed FB posts and DMs always require your manual click. That's the safety gate that keeps the system from ever sending something you wouldn't say.

Which platforms does it work on?+

Facebook (personal + Page + Messenger), LinkedIn (personal feed + DMs), Instagram (DMs). Auto-publish today: FB Page + LinkedIn personal feed. Manual-confirm via extension: FB personal feed, all DMs, comments. TikTok and X are on the roadmap once the FB+LI surface is rock-solid.

How much does it cost?+

Today: included with any Iron Front Digital subscription (Iron Front Sites at $97/mo, MLM tier at $97-$197/mo, Toolbench at $19-$29/mo, etc.). Standalone launch is planned for Q3 2026 at $39/mo with a 14-day trial. If you want it now, sign up for any IFD plan and Recon is yours.

What about the 'AI sounds robotic' problem?+

Recon threads your brand voice profile + customer knowledge vault into every draft. We also enforce specific anti-pattern rules at the prompt level: no 'yo [name]' openers, no 'killing it' / 'that's the move' slang, no vague 'been building something' value props, no junk-name greetings when the scraper misses. The drafter rules ship as code; we update them every time a customer flags a draft that sounds off.

Stop blasting. Start protecting.

Recon is included with any Iron Front Digital subscription. The faster you start, the more relationships your future self has.
