Summary

An AI-native IDE with a builder mode that takes a project from prompt to running application.

Description

Trae is an AI-first IDE from ByteDance. It looks familiar — a VS Code-style workspace with extensions and settings you can import — but the AI is the primary interface rather than a sidebar bolted on.

Main capabilities
  • Builder mode takes a natural-language description of a project and produces a working application, file by file, explaining decisions as it goes.
  • Chat and inline editing with full project context, so requests can reference the codebase rather than pasted snippets.
  • Agent workflows that plan multi-file changes, run commands, and iterate on failures.
  • Multimodal input — hand it a screenshot or design and ask for the implementation.
  • Familiar footing. Import your VS Code extensions, keybindings, and themes so switching costs stay low.
Who it suits

Developers who want to work in an agent-driven flow without leaving a conventional IDE, and people building small projects end to end who benefit from the builder path. Free to download for macOS and Windows, with paid tiers for higher model usage.
