AI-powered workspace setup recommendations for remote worker

Visit Website
May 22, 2026 I built a remote work setup generator (next.js + amazon affiliates)

What it does: Takes 8 inputs (budget, room size, job, etc.) and generates a complete home office setup — gear list, desk layout, budget split, upgrade path. Free, no signup.

Why I built it: Spent 2 weeks last winter doom-scrolling Wirecutter trying to set up my own home office. Every guide assumed a different budget and use case. Wanted a tool that combined all the constraints.

Stack: Next.js 16 App Router, Vercel, Tailwind v4. Affiliate revenue via Amazon (US tag). ~60 pages of gear guides, setup guides, and comparison pages all SEO-optimized with structured data.

Where I'm at: 1 month live, 4 visitors/day, 0 affiliate clicks yet (still in Google sandbox). Have a 90-day plan to push backlinks first, content second.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. The recap → decode → results flow on /generator — does it feel over-engineered or worth it?

2. Pricing strategy for tools like this — should I add a paid tier (e.g., personalized AI recommendations)?
