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).
