That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $648 a year. - You could make: Appointment booking, invoicing and calendar: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
