AI that carries software from requirements and code to tested, deployable release
Extracts, structures and traces requirements from vague legacy documentation, and keeps a clear line from requirement to test plan.
An IDE-based AI assistant that generates code and documentation, breaks down complex logic and now includes an autonomous Agent Mode that plans, seeks approval and executes.
Automates the test lifecycle from requirements through feature-file generation to reporting, targeting UI, API and mobile coverage.
Agent Mode builds a TODO list, waits for the developer to approve the plan, then runs the task end to end with undo support and direct edits in Plan Mode.
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.
