Open-source AI coding agent for IDE, CLI and cloud
Code, Plan, Debug and review agents let you switch context without switching tools, covering writing, planning and troubleshooting.
The same open-source agent works in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, the CLI, cloud agents and a desktop app.
A model gateway routes to frontier, open-weight or free models, supports bringing your own keys and allows running local models.
Choose Efficient, Frontier or Free strategies and let Kilo pick the right model for the budget and task at hand.
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.
