About the project
About What Should I?
What Should I? is a free decision helper for everyday moments when your options feel endless. It suggests specific things to pack, wear, eat, watch, and gift, based on a few details you provide.
What you can do here
Pick one of the five free tools to get a tailored suggestion in seconds, or read the practical guides that explain the reasoning behind common decisions. The aim is clarity and usefulness: enough detail to act on, without a long quiz or a sprawling list of generic ideas.
Who it is for
It is made for anyone standing in front of a closet, an open suitcase, an empty fridge, or a streaming menu, unsure where to start. You do not need an account to use the tools: choose a route, answer three quick questions, and get one clear, specific suggestion. Signed-in visitors can also save their past asks. Saved asks can be accessible through their sharing links; do not include confidential details.
How suggestions are created
The interactive tools use AI to produce suggestions from your inputs. Generated recommendations can be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, particularly for availability, prices, safety rules, and personal constraints, so check important details independently. Editorial guides are also available for visitors who prefer straightforward, static content.
Who builds it
What Should I? is an independent project created by John Huneycutt. We keep the service free and plan to support it through clearly labeled advertising. Ads, when activated, will never be presented as our editorial answers, and your choices in the tools are not purchases or endorsements. Learn more in our privacy notice.
Our permanent guides include worked examples and planning assumptions. AI suggestions are labeled separately and are not editorial reviews. Read our publishing and corrections standards or see site updates.
