Managed cloud agents for coding, review and background work
Define the trigger, prompt, environment, permissions and compute shape in a config file that lives alongside your code and is reviewed like any other change.
Ellipsis provisions and tears down virtual machines for each session, so agent work never depends on a developer's laptop being open or on hand-rolled runners.
Choose Claude Code or Codex, or mix them, by editing a single configuration block rather than rewriting your automation.
Credentials are minted per session and limited to the repositories you allowed, and source code is deleted together with the sandbox.
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.
