That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $108 a year. - You could make: Sales pipeline, tasks, invoicing, Gantt & timelines, wiki and time tracking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
