That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could make: Documents: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: Editing the text inside a PDF without breaking its layout. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
