That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $468 a year. Typebot is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could make: Forms: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: It plugs into other products, OpenAI, Google Sheets and Google Analytics among them, and has an API.
