That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $180 a year. - You could make: Help center: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
