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: 70 of the 89 other presentation tools grade higher. It costs $348 a year. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: An API that other software can build on.
