No Hacks: Optimising the Web for AI Agents
Your next million website visitors won't be human.
AI agents are already browsing the web. Comparison shopping, researching products, filling out forms, booking travel, extracting information. And most websites are completely unprepared. Navigation that makes sense to humans confuses agents. Checkouts break. Critical information is invisible.
No Hacks is the podcast about this shift. We explore how to optimise websites for AI agents: what breaks, what works, and what companies need to do now to stay visible in an agent-driven web.
Hosted by Slobodan Manic (slobodanmanic.com), consultant and speaker on Agent Experience Optimisation (AXO).

No Hacks: Optimising the Web for AI Agents
[SHORT] AI vs Human Intuition in E-commerce with Mike Ryan
Where do humans still have the edge over AI in e-commerce?
AI-driven algorithms are optimizing ad campaigns, automating decisions, and shaping digital strategies faster than ever. But does that mean human intuition is becoming obsolete?
In a recent No Hacks Snacks conversation, I spoke with Mike Ryan, Head of e-commerce Insights at Smarter Ecommerce (smec), about the evolving balance between human expertise and algorithmic automation in performance marketing.
We talked about:
🔹 The rise of "Pmaxification" and what it means for advertisers
🔹 Why AI optimizes for the moment but lacks long-term strategic thinking
🔹 How intuition, domain knowledge, and creative strategy still give humans a competitive edge
As AI-powered campaigns become the norm, knowing when to trust the machine, and when to step in, is more important than ever.
