Shakespeare
Shakespeare is an AI-powered, open-source website builder from Soapbox Technology that blends flexibility, creativity, and control in a single development environment. It allows users to build, edit, and deploy AI-driven websites with access to multiple model providers and full ownership of their data and code. Unlike conventional no-code platforms, Shakespeare never locks users into a proprietary system—everything built within it remains transparent, exportable, and customizable.
