Use Shakespeare DIY with amazee.ai¶

Shakespeare DIY is an open-source AI assistant framework. Connect it to amazee.ai to route requests through your regional endpoint with data residency and budget controls.

Prerequisites¶

• Shakespeare DIY installed (GitHub)
• An amazee.ai API key

Connect Shakespeare DIY to amazee.ai¶

Shakespeare DIY supports OpenAI-compatible APIs. Set these environment variables:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-amazee-ai-api-key"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://llm.[your-region].amazee.ai/v1"

Replace [your-region] with your region code (e.g. ch103, us103, de103).

Then reload your shell:

source ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc

Verify¶

Start Shakespeare DIY and run a query. Check my.amazee.io → Usage to confirm requests are flowing through your amazee.ai endpoint.

Troubleshooting¶

Auth errors

Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set. Run echo $OPENAI_API_KEY to check.

Model not found

Check Available Models for models available in your region.

Connection errors

Make sure OPENAI_BASE_URL includes /v1 and uses the correct region code.
