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: 80 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher. - You could not: A fast, secure link to another computer through any network. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
