Trae is ByteDance's AI code editor, with a Chinese-first interface where chat, completion and agent edits happen in the editor. Agent mode reads the project, changes several files and runs commands, handy for small projects, page recreation and batch adjustments. As an editor it faces your whole directory, so bound the scope: review file diffs and run locally each round before continuing. It imports existing projects and common editor settings.
What it does
- Chinese interface and chat, so requirements stay in one language
- Completion and chat that write into the current project
- Agent mode retrieves files, edits several places and runs commands
- Imports existing projects and common editor settings
- Preview and terminal in one view
Who it is for
- A small tool or landing page sketched from Chinese requirements
- One kind of adjustment across several files in an existing project
- Complex frontend requests that are easier in Chinese
- Watching how it finds files and runs commands while learning
How to get started
- Create or import a modest project and give it one clear small feature
- Constrain stack and directories so it does not touch unrelated files
- Review diffs and run locally each round before continuing
