Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
ByteDance's AI-native workspace for natural-language task execution
Describe an outcome in plain language and TraeWork breaks it into concrete steps, decides what to do first and works through the task instead of waiting for line-by-line instructions.
The workspace connects to external services such as GitHub, so tasks can read context, act on real resources and produce usable results rather than just suggesting text.
Outputs are collected as artifacts you can review and reuse, with a task list for tracking ongoing and queued work in one place.
A marketplace and automation panel let you extend the workspace with reusable skills and scheduled or triggered workflows.
