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: 76 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year. - You could not: Video calls. - You could not: An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: An API that other software can build on.
