1. Trae’s First Experience: Your “Jarvis” is Online
Do you remember that all-powerful AI butler from “Iron Man”? Trae’s design philosophy is strikingly similar: “Just speak, and the code runs itself”.
Three incredible modes, specially designed to handle various challenges
🔧 1. Builder Mode: Generate a Complete Project with One Sentence
Input “Generate a To-Do list application”, and Trae immediately starts thinking and working. First, it confirms the plan, opting to use React+TypeScript, and interacts with you step by step, similar to the Agent mode of Cursor Composer.
After a few rounds of foolproof interaction, a complete project is generated and runs successfully!
💬 2. Chat Mode: Your 24/7 AI Mentor
Encounter an error? Just take a screenshot and drop it in the chat box: “Why does this Python code report ‘IndentationError’?”
Trae not only locates the error line but also provides multiple solutions and code optimization suggestions, even asking back: “Did you forget to close the previous if statement?”
🎨 3. Multimodal Development: Turn Images into Code
Drag a product manager’s soul sketch into Trae, and it instantly generates the corresponding webpage—no more “mutual harm” with UI design drafts.
The generated webpage is as follows, it’s explosive, and it feels like junior front-end developers might be out of a job!
2. Technical Deep Dive: The “Superpowers” Behind Trae
As a brand new IDE, how does Trae differ from Cursor and traditional VSCode? What are its advantages?
The answer is definitely yes, I’ve summarized these five superpowers.
1. Dual-Core Drive: Claude 3.5 + GPT-4o Dream Team
Code generation is handled by the logically adept Claude 3.5, while semantic understanding is overseen by GPT-4o, achieving a 1+1>2 effect through this strong collaboration.
The key is that it’s currently all free to use!
2. The “Native Language Advantage” for Chinese Developers
From code comments to error messages, everything is displayed in Chinese, and it can even understand requests like “Give me a colorful black” (though it generates a gradient gray).
Did you know? This Chinese support is native; no plugins are needed, it’s set to Chinese by default!
Let’s shout it out, ByteDance yyds!
3. Hidden Easter Egg: Real-Time Webview Rendering
When writing front-end code, you can preview the page effects directly within the IDE without switching to a browser, making the user experience fantastic!
4. Code Review: Treat Every Change with Caution
Whether using Chat mode or Build mode, when Trae tries to modify your code, it thoughtfully lists how many lines were added and how many were removed for your review, ensuring clarity before you click “Accept All”.
5. Version Rollback: Supports Rollback to Any Previous Dialogue Stage
Suddenly realizing that the previously accepted code has issues, or wanting to revert to an earlier version of the code?
Don’t worry, Trae supports rollback to any previous dialogue stage, with just one click. 
This feature is very practical; ByteDance has truly designed it from the user’s perspective.
3. Conclusion and Insights
After the experience, the most profound impression Trae left me is that the user experience is excellent, and the functionality is very practical and grounded. A product of ByteDance is bound to be of high quality.
I have to reconsider my commonly used development IDE.
That’s all for today’s introduction. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message. See you next time.
Recently, I started an AI companionship group, the introductory price is only 29 yuan, to help you learn about AI agents and AI programming. The specific delivery content is as follows; interested friends can add me on WeChat for details.
Finally, let’s offer a benefit to friends who are not in the AI Breakthrough Club: a free three-day open class on breaking through, which will teach everyone about popular AI tracks such as AI video, AI writing, AI digital broadcasting, etc. AI is the biggest dividend of the new era for ordinary people, and we must seize it.
