That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $98.50 a year. - You could make: Issue tracking, Gantt & timelines, kanban boards and wiki: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
