️ 🖼Tool Name:
Trae AI (The Real AI Engineer)

🔖 Tool Category:
AI-powered IDE - An optimized version of VS Code with AI-powered software agents.

️ ✏What does this tool offer?

• Advanced Builder Agent: Disassembles your application into actionable steps, plans, writes code, and applies modifications directly to the project.

• Interactive chat within the IDE: You can request any modification or code generation via text or voice, and Trae works like a fellow programmer with you.

• Solo Mode: (in beta) an autonomous agent capable of managing the entire project lifecycle: From architecture creation to testing to deployment to Vercel.

• Integration with MCP (Model Context Protocol): Allows to easily connect external tools and APIs within the development environment.

• Additional features:
  - Smart Tab Completion (Cue).
  - Built-in web search within the IDE.
  - Voice input for commands.
  - Import Cursor and VS Code settings without any complications.

• Supported templates: Claude 4 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT-4o, DeepSeek R1, and others.

⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?

• Ranked as the best smart IDE in the SWE-bench Verifiedtest, beating out tools like Cursor.

• Its interface is sleek and smooth, and is considered "the most elegant version of VS Code" according to reviews on Reddit.

• Users note that it provides clearer and more accurate results than similar tools because it analyzes and plans what is required before execution, rather than executing the command directly and haphazardly.

• Practical experience has shown that it significantly reduces development time: For example, a full page build + API connectivity + initial deployment can be done in less than an hour with Solo Mode.

Yes, automation is an essential part of Trae:

• Analyze commands, break them down into clear steps and then execute them automatically.
