What is Shooketh?
Shooketh is an AI chatbot trained on Shakespeare's complete literary works, allowing you to interact with an AI that understands and responds in Shakespearean language and themes. Built using the Vercel AI SDK and powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo model, it lets you explore famous quotes, ask questions about Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, and receive answers written in period-appropriate language. The tool is particularly useful for students, teachers, and Shakespeare enthusiasts who want to engage with the playwright's work in a novel way.
