Customizable AI workspaces with multi-model chat, notebooks, and live prototypes
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.

Customizable AI workspaces with multi-model chat, notebooks, and live prototypes
Build each project space from modular components, adding or removing AI chat windows, notebooks, and live samples as the task changes.
Send one prompt and explore how different catalog models respond, then branch the thread to compare perspectives without losing prior context.
Choose VIL 1.0 Performance for fast reasoning and coding work or VIL 1.0 Extended Context when long files and extended conversations matter more.
Capture formatted notes and run interactive visual prototypes inside the same workspace as your chats, keeping context and outputs together.
