That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 39 other ad creative and reporting tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: Suppliers who ship each order for you. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
