## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Juicebox you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $1,188 a year.

- You could make: Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
