That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $300 a year. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video editor. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
