That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could not: Live video to hundreds of people at once. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - 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: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
