TRAE, the AI IDE programming tool launched by ByteDance
TRAE what
TRAE was introduced by ByteDance AI IDE Programming tools are highly intelligent AI development engineers who integrate AI Coding Agents to understand requirements, mobilize tools, and independently complete various development tasks. Pass TRAE SOLO Mode, TRAE can understand developer needs and automatically execute the entire process from code writing to testing, significantly improving development efficiency. TRAE supports natural language dialogue, and developers can interact with tools in daily language to simplify complex tasks. TRAE focuses on user privacy, adopts local priority policies and minimizes data collection principles to ensure data security. TRAE can increase productivity, allowing developers to focus more on innovation and problem solving without being troubled by tedious coding work.
Main functions of TRAE
-
AI Coding Agent : The integrated AI assistant can understand development needs and provide intelligent question and answer, automatic code completion, and automatic agent-based programming capabilities.
-
TRAE SOLO mode : A highly automated development method, AI leads the entire process from requirements understanding, code generation, testing to results preview.
-
Smartide : Provide traditional IDE functions, such as code writing, project management, plug-in management, source code management, etc., to integrate AI into workflows.
-
Custom agents : Users can flexibly define tools, skills and task logic according to their needs, and build an exclusive AI agent team.
-
Free assembly of tools : Supports seamless integration of multiple external tools, expanding the capabilities boundaries of agents.
-
More context understanding : The tool can understand code warehouse and terminal information, support network search, upload document sets, and configure AI working rules.
-
Cue intelligent prediction : Based on the optimization model, precise continuation is achieved, the warehouse context and editing trajectory are intelligently perceived, and the next change point is automatically predicted.
-
Privacy & Security : Adhere to the principles of “local first” and “minimize data collection” to protect user privacy and data security.
-
Regionalized deployment : User data and service infrastructure are stored and deployed according to the place of account ownership to meet the compliance requirements of local data regulations.
How TRAE is used
- Downloading and installation : Access TRAE Official Website (International version website: trae.ai), download the client and install it to the operating system (supports macOS 10.15 and above, Windows 10, 11).
- Start & Log In : Start TRAE IDE, register an account and log in.
- Create or import projects : Create or import projects by importing local folders, cloning repositories from GitHub, or cloning directly from Git repository URLs.
- Selecting a working mode : According to development needs, choose to use IDE mode or SOLO mode. The SOLO model allows AI to dominate the development process, and the IDE model can retain more control.
- Utilize AI Assistant : Interact with AI assistants in side conversations or in-line conversations to get coding help, code explanations, bug fixes, etc.
- Manage Plugins : Install, disable or uninstall plugins as needed to extend the functionality of TRAE.
- Privacy Settings : Enable privacy mode if needed to prevent TRAE from storing or using chat interactive content.
- Code writing and editing : Use TRAE’s intelligent programming tools, such as CUE, to assist code writing and editing.
- Handling of code changes : Accept or reject code changes generated by AI assistants and manage code modifications in projects.
- Model management : Switch between different AI models as needed, or add custom models to meet specific needs.
- Explore more features : Use the agents, context understanding and other functions provided by TRAE to further improve development efficiency.
TRAE’s product pricing
- TRAE Domestic Edition
- TRAE Personal : Individual users can use all the functions of the domestic version without paying, including integrated domestic AI models (such as Doubao, DeepSeek, etc.) and basic functions such as code generation and intelligent completion.
- TRAE Enterprise Edition :
- Seat fee :69 per seat per month. Interests include Q&A (Agent / Chat / Builder) 500 times a month. Completion, InlineChat, Fast Apply, AI Fix, unlimited times.
- Pay-as-you-go billing : When the usage of member resources in the enterprise exceeds the quota in the package, pay-as-you-go billing needs to be activated. Using the hourly payment method, there is an hour-level delay in issuing accounts.
-
Billing formula : Doubao model service fee = input Token usage × input Token unit price + output Token usage × output Token unit price.
