Coze learning map

Coze Programming is the build path in this directory. Official wording (What is Coze Programming):

Coze Programming is an AI-driven application platform. Describe the need clearly and it can produce production agents, workflows, skills, mobile apps, web apps, or mini programs.

Coze itself is a different door. Official wording (What is Coze): "a next-generation AI team collaboration platform for the Agent era." You dispatch agents there. You do not draw the low-code canvas there.

Product landscape

ByteDance ships several AI products. Even the ones branded Coze are not the same surface. This directory covers agent building only.

Names that collide

• Coze ≠ Coze Programming. Workspace vs builder.
• Coze ≠ Doubao. Doubao is chat. The low-code “publish to Doubao” channel closed on 2026-07-01 (FAQ).
• Coze Programming ≠ Trae. Trae is an IDE.
• Low-code agent ≠ full-code agent. Visual canvas vs AI-programming chat.
• Cloud “Claude Code / Codex CLI” ≠ vendor CLIs. Those frameworks run on a Coze cloud computer. You cannot sign in to Anthropic or OpenAI there (consumer FAQ).
• Coze Studio ≠ Coze Programming. Studio is the open single-node core. Commercial Coze Programming does not offer private deployment.
• Older Bot = today’s low-code agent.

Goals and non-goals

Goals

• Pick the right Coze door.
• Follow the official path to a published low-code agent.
• Jump to a recipe when you need workflows, knowledge, plugins, skills, or the CLI.

Non-goals

• No full Doubao, Trae, or Ark tutorials.
• No PPT / short-video / cloud-phone office manual.
• No model internals (see Learn LLM).
• No private-cloud implementation guide for Studio.

Which page

Page	Type	When
Tutorial	Tutorial	First time: sign up → low-code agent → debug → publish
Cookbook	How-to	You can click the UI; you have one job
Cheatsheet	Reference	Plans, channels, CLI, limits, sources

Learning path

Stage	Read	Outcome
1. Pick a door	This map	Do not open Doubao or Trae by mistake

5. Align words	Glossary	Skill vs plugin vs workflow

Feature index (builder surface)

Capability	One line	Official
Low-code agent	Persona + model + skills panel	Overview, Quick start
Full-code agent	Chat produces a deployable project	Develop an agent

Freshness

• Coze 3.0: official date 2026-05-29 for multi-agent collaboration (consumer FAQ).
• Doubao publish channel for low-code agents: closed 2026-07-01.
• Douyin avatar: removed 2025-09-03.
• Workflow / image-flow store: taken down.
• Ignore 2024 blogs that still say “Bot + one-click Discord / Doubao”.
