That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could make: Documents: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
