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: 80 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $120 a year. - You could make: Tasks and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
