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: 66 of the 101 other AI agents grade higher. It costs $348 a year. - You could make: Appointment booking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
