What makes Act II different:

1. Runs entirely in the browser: Unlike Act 1, where your project files were stored remotely on our NSP servers, now all of your projects are stored locally in your browser — so you retain all control and full privacy.

2. Full AI provider and model choice: Before, you were locked into only the providers and models available from NSPs. With Act II, you can configure ANY AI provider you want. Bring your own credentials from your favorite provider like PerPerQ, Routstr, OpenAI, Z.ai, and Anthropic; use our pre-configured Shakespeare AI provider (with both free + paid tiers), or even run your own local model! This is the most choice of ANY AI web builder we’re aware of.

3. Complete development environment in the browser: We’ve built a text editor, terminal, and git version control integration directly into Shakespeare.

The new changes we’ve made to the architecture of Shakespeare unlock new possibilities. One feature we’re most excited about is the ability to “Edit With Shakespeare.”

Find any compatible open source project and start improving it in Shakespeare with one click! This is the power of open source, and with AI it’s finally accessible to everyone — no matter your technical level.

Want to try it? Pick any app or template from our showcase and click “Edit with Shakespeare”!

We know debugging is always the worst part of building. We’ve built multiple new tools into Shakespeare to make it easier, including an in-web console to show errors, and a friendly assistant called Quilly who may make an appearance to alert you to key errors. Keep an eye out for him!

We’ve also built out a detailed Shakespeare resource center with an FAQ and guides on how to get the most out of Shakespeare.
