That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $384 a year. - You could make: Help desk, help center and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - 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. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
