About
Trae is an AI code editor created by ByteDance, built on the VS Code foundation and designed to accelerate software development through two core modes. Builder Mode takes a natural language description and scaffolds an entire project from scratch, while Chat Mode lets you ask questions, debug code, and get step-by-step suggestions without leaving the editor.
It supports the Model Context Protocol for connecting external tools and APIs, lets you configure custom agents for repeatable workflows, and provides access to premium models including Claude and GPT-4o. Trae runs on macOS and Windows with a browser-based cloud IDE also available. A free plan includes 5,000 monthly autocompletions plus limited premium model requests; paid plans start at $3 per month.
