A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
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.
Provides powerful reasoning agents and deep research, but lacks Manus's specialized continuous cloud workspace execution.
