Automatic documentation for code, on every save
Autopilot documents entire codebases every time you hit save, so documentation keeps pace with your code.
Pass in code and receive an explanation in plain English, customizable to your needs through a public API.
Enrich generated explanations with Stack Overflow suggestions and documentation from across the web so you do not have to search manually.
Integrations for editors and wherever code can be found, including the VSC extension.
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.
