Trae learning map

TraeCode is the AI coding IDE under the TRAE brand. Official copy (What is TraeCode?): a development tool deeply integrated with AI, covering coding, project understanding, debugging, and change management. You can stay in control as in a traditional IDE, or hand complex work to agents.

The marketing homepage (www.trae.ai) lists it next to TraeWork: TraeCode: Your 10x AI Coding Engineer; TraeWork: Your Professional AI Work Assistant. This directory expands TraeCode only.

Audience / prerequisites

• Who: frontend engineers who already use a desktop IDE and want ByteDance's Cursor analogue.
• Need: an OS from the official Quickstart / CN getting started table; a TRAE account.
• Non-goals: no TraeWork office tutorial; no Doubao / Coze / Ark; no model internals (see Learn LLM); no invented TraeCode CLI commands (the enterprise page says coming soon).

TRAE (brand)
├── TraeCode — desktop AI coding IDE (this directory)
│   ├── IDE mode (editor / terminal / debug / extensions / Git)
│   ├── SOLO mode (AI-led: plan → generate → test → preview)
│   ├── CUE / Agent / Skills / Rules / MCP
│   ├── TraeCode Plugin (VS Code / JetBrains; map row)
│   └── TraeCode CLI (official coming soon)
├── TraeWork — standalone office workspace (Web / Desktop / Mobile)
│   └── Work / Code (marketing page also lists Design)
├── TRAE Enterprise — teams
└── Same vendor, not this directory
    ├── Doubao #79
    ├── Coze #81
    └── Ark #82

Names that collide:

• TraeCode ≠ TraeWork. Coding IDE vs office workspace. Official: TraeWork builds upon TraeCode's SOLO mode.
• SOLO mode inside TraeCode ≠ TraeWork. SOLO is the top-left mode switch. TraeWork is a separate client (Web / Desktop / Mobile).
• Legacy names TRAE IDE / TRAE SOLO standalone folded into TraeCode / TraeWork. Do not install a third product.
• CUE ≠ Cursor. CUE is TraeCode completion / multi-line edit / next-edit prediction.
• TraeCode Plugin ≠ the in-IDE extension marketplace. Plugin embeds Trae into VS Code / JetBrains.
• trae.ai ≠ trae.cn / trae.com.cn. The international header has a China-site link. Login, quota, and device limits are separate.

Learning path

Stage	Read	Goal
1. Pick a surface	Tutorial · China vs international	Do not mix installers or accounts
2. Install and open a project	Tutorial	Official download, then a local folder or clone
3. Split the two modes	Tutorial · IDE / SOLO	Top-left switch; SOLO is not TraeWork
4. Look up facts	Cheatsheet	OS, device limit, official URLs

Feature lookup

Only capabilities the official docs already state.

SOLO mode	AI-led: requirements → generate → test → preview; top-left switch	SOLO mode overview
Open a project	Local folder / clone from GitHub / clone from URL	Quickstart
CUE	Completion, chained completion, multi-line edits, next-edit prediction; smart import/rename for Py / TS / Go	What is TraeCode?
Agents	Natural-language tasks, repo search, tools; custom agents + MCP	Same
Context	Files, folders, snippets, terminal, repos, doc sets, web pages	Same
Privacy mode	Chats / snippets / outputs not used for analysis, optimization, or training; codebase stays local	Same
Sandbox	Agent commands in a restricted environment	Same

Plans (official pages only)

• Current international tiers: www.trae.ai/pricing — Lite / Pro / Pro+ / Ultra. That page says Pro is Free for 7 days. Then $10/month. AI requests are billed as tokens converted to Dollar Usage against a monthly balance. Full monthly prices for Lite / Pro+ / Ultra stay on that page.
• Docs also keep (Legacy) Plans & billing. Do not treat the old Free/Pro request table as current.
