The setup guide for everything you just bought
Most products don't come with a list of what else you need. We fix that.
What Hierogo does
You bought something. The product is in the box. Now what? Every category has a dozen accessories that actually matter, and nobody tells you which ones, in what order, or what they should cost.
Hierogo asks what you got and a few questions about your situation, then gives you a ranked accessories list. Items are sorted into Essentials (you need this), Recommended (worth having), and Optional (nice if you want it). Every item shows three price tiers: budget, mid, and premium.
The lists are specific to your answers. A beginner home barista gets different recommendations than an experienced one. A puppy owner in an apartment gets different gear than one with a yard. A barebones keyboard gets a switches recommendation; a pre-built doesn't.
How recommendations are made
Each category has a hand-built product catalog: the items that consistently show up on "what do I actually need" threads across Reddit, specialty forums, and enthusiast communities.
When you submit your answers, that catalog goes to an AI model along with your context (product, budget, experience, living situation). The model picks from the catalog, assigns priorities, suggests price ranges, and writes a reason for each recommendation tied to your exact product and answers, not generic boilerplate.
We don't pad lists for affiliate revenue. The goal is the shortest list that covers everything meaningful. Essentials are things where skipping them creates a real problem. Recommended items improve the experience. Optional items are for people who want to go deep.
What we cover
Affiliate disclosure
Hierogo participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is how the site stays free.
Affiliate relationships don't influence what gets recommended or how items are ranked. Products are included because they belong in the category, not because they earn more commission. Amazon commissions are roughly uniform across most categories anyway, so there's no financial incentive to recommend one product over another.
Price estimates shown in recommendations are approximate. Verify current prices on Amazon before purchasing. They change frequently.
Feedback and corrections
If a recommendation is wrong, a price is way off, or a category is missing something obvious, the catalog is hand-built and we update it. The best way to reach us is through the site's GitHub repository, or the feedback option in any recommendation list.
