Product Overview
What is Trae?
Trae is an advanced AI-integrated development environment developed by ByteDance, designed to enhance developer productivity by automating repetitive tasks, providing real-time intelligent code suggestions, and enabling conversational programming. It supports multiple programming languages and integrates powerful AI models such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT-4o. Trae features two main modes—Builder mode for zero-to-one application development through natural language specifications, and Chat mode for interactive code analysis and debugging. It offers seamless workspace understanding by analyzing entire projects, including files and terminal interactions, to deliver context-aware assistance and autonomous coding agents.
