That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 74 of the 89 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $96 a year. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: Ad images and videos made to each network's sizes. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
