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: 78 of the 100 other writing tools grade higher. It costs $120 a year. - You could make: Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: Citation records for millions of papers.
