What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
