If you just want to respond from the on_message callback, you can grab the mention string from the author like so:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    # No infinite bot loops
    if message.author == bot.user or message.author.bot:
        return

    mention = message.author.mention
    response = f"hey {mention}, you're great!"
    await message.channel.send(response)
