No Hacks is a weekly podcast and YouTube show, hosted by Slobodan "Sani" Manić, on how AI is changing the way people search, choose and buy online. AI is changing the way people use the internet, and nobody asked us if we wanted it changed. People ask AI instead of searching, let it read the page for them, and more and more, let it choose and buy. So every week I look at one of those changes: an AI that signs into websites with your saved passwords, three AI models that picked three different products for the same shopping request, an AI assistant whose calls to businesses were placed by people in a call center. Then I tell you whether it's good, bad, or pointless, and what it means for the business on the other side. Around fifteen minutes, every Saturday morning, usually me on my own, always with the receipts. Hosted by Slobodan Manić, a CXL-certified conversion specialist, WordPress Core Contributor, and the creator of Machine-First Architecture.
