How can I make it so my discord bot mentions a specific person when they type?

So I'm putting this in a Cog. I want to make it so that if the author is a specific person and they type anything, the bot will mention them and reply.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = discord.Client()

class jtieu(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Bot 3 is ready.")

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def jtieu2(self, ctx):
        if ctx.author == "CxS#3441" :
            await ctx.channel.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} ok")



def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(jtieu(client))

I'm not too sure if I'm supposed to use ctx.author.mention in this context, and I'm fairly new to how Cogs work in discord.py.

If you are creating a mention specifically for one user it might be a better idea to copy the user's id and use it instead of a nickname as it will work even when they change their name.

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == 1234567890: # example id
        await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention} ok")

Remember that it requires intents.messages.
