That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $298.80 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
