That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $144 a year. - You could make: Appointment booking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Outlook and Zoom among them, and has an API. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
