It seems like a significant missed opportunity to offer an AI app-building feature like Studio AI without native integration to core GHL functionalities — contacts, invoices/payments, products, phone/SMS, and more. If the whole point is to build apps and tools for sub-accounts within GHL, then seamless access to those native features should be available.
I've been using Base44, which does a great job, but even there I have to connect to GHL via API keys, and it never works quite as cleanly as a true native integration would. That workaround friction defeats the purpose.
Studio AI has real potential, but it will only be truly powerful if it can leverage the GHL features already living inside the platform. Native connectivity isn't just a nice-to-have it's what separates a genuinely useful tool from a half-built one.
