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
Rishi Rawat Doesn’t Do User Research
Rishi Rawat, product page optimization specialist at Frictionless Commerce - although you may know him as The Product Page Guy.
In this episode, we talked about his hot take on user research. Why you don’t always need them in CRO and what to do instead. Rishi also answered questions from the community:
- Simbar Dube: I think his optimization framework focuses on product pages only and it doesn’t include research right? Suppose there are conversion roadblocks happening on other pages, without research, how will he identify them? And since his framework is only built for PDPs, does it mean that they ignore conversion roadblocks on other pages?
- Trina Moitra: I am a big fan of Rishi's unique take on Shopify product pages. My question to him would be - "What is a framework that copywriters can use to channel their creative intuition into work that would resonate with the intended audience?"
- Samyak Tripathi: How to design the copy and strategy to make them highly interested in your product by providing value in the Ad itself
- Dragos Balasoiu: If you could NEVER work in e-commerce again, what would you do?
