Local-first workspace that turns your AI coding agents into a coordinated crew

Local-first workspace that turns your AI coding agents into a coordinated crew
A default team of Partner, Engineer, Product Lead and Designer works in parallel on a shared project context and hands off work with short briefs.
Bind Opus to planning, GPT-5.x to codegen and a local model to review, then swap models per task across seven providers and many runtimes.
Skills and per-project memories persist as plain files and a background Partner proposes new ones from real run evidence for your approval.
State lives in ~/.crew44, the daemon binds to 127.0.0.1, and there is no cloud account, subscription, telemetry or remote inference.
An AI IDE and coding agent that works on your project, not just your cursor
Trae reads your project files and dependencies, so its suggestions account for how the codebase is actually structured rather than treating each file in isolation.
Describe a task and the agent plans and applies multi-file edits, shows a diff for review, and can run terminal commands as part of the change.
Ask questions about unfamiliar code, get inline explanations, and have bugs or failing tests diagnosed and fixed with context.
TraeCode covers the coding workflow, while TraeWork applies an AI assistant to everyday knowledge tasks — both download for desktop, with a web option.
