October 25, 2025 💻 From IT Support to AI Builder

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I used to work as an IT Support Engineer, and one question I got all the time was:

“Which laptop is best for me?”

“What’s the perfect laptop for programming, design, or school?”

After years of answering that question over and over, I realized most people are completely overwhelmed by specs CPUs, GPUs, RAM, display types, storage speeds and end up buying laptops that don’t actually fit their needs.

That’s what inspired me to build LaptopFinderAI.com 💡

🧠 What It Does

LaptopFinderAI uses AI to match people with the right laptop for their specific work or passion — whether you’re a student, designer, developer, business professional, or gamer.

You simply select what you do, and the AI instantly recommends laptops that suit your workflow.

⚙️ How I Built It

Frontend: nextjs + Vite

Backend: Supabase (database, auth, API)

AI: GPT-5 model for decision logic

Monetization: Amazon affiliate links + future premium comparison tools

Hosting: Railway.app

🚀 Why It Exists

I wanted to take all the experience I gained helping people choose laptops and automate it — turning my everyday IT conversations into a useful product anyone can access worldwide.

LaptopFinderAI helps people save time, avoid bad purchases, and buy smarter.

I’m sharing the whole journey here: what works, what doesn’t, and how I’m growing traffic organically through SEO, Pinterest, and Reddit.

Would love feedback from the community especially on how to make the AI feel more human when giving laptop advice.

Thanks,
