SOLO Mode
SOLO mode is a highly automated development approach. With AI-driven at its core, SOLO mode enables AI to autonomously plan and execute the entire development process from requirement understanding, code generation, testing, to result preview and deployment.
In SOLO mode, you can input requirements through various ways, such as natural language descriptions, voice interactions, or uploading local files. The AI will independently break down tasks and execute them efficiently, greatly simplifying and streamlining the development process.
If you wish to free your hands and let AI automatically finish the entire development process, SOLO mode is the ideal choice. This article will provide a detailed introduction of SOLO mode, covering its user interface, key features, and related operations to help you get started quickly.
Restrictions
- SOLO mode is only available to users who have subscribed to the Pro plan and obtained the SOLO Code.
- SOLO mode only supports chatting with agents.
UI
The UI of SOLO mode is described as follows:
1. AI Panel
Used for interacting with agents. In the panel's upper-left corner, you can see the toggle for switching between SOLO mode and IDE mode, while the upper-right corner provides access to chat management and AI management.
2. Top Bar
From left to right:
- Tool panel control button: Used to show or hide the tool panel
- "Flow" feature control button
- Tool panel switch buttons, including:
- Editor panel: Displays the coding process and code output
- Terminal panel: Shows command execution information
- Browser panel: Displays the AI-built web application
- DocView panel: Shows the PRD output process and drafts
- Integrations panel: Display the Supabase organization and project that TRAE is connected to, and for managing AI services and payment services
- Figma panel: Used to select the frame or element that needs to be converted into code and send it to AI chat
- Bottom panel control buttons (Editor only): Used to show or hide the Problems, Output, and Debug Console panels
- Main sidebar control button (Editor only): Used to show or hide the main sidebar. The sidebar provides features like resource explorer, search, and source control management
3. Tool Panel Display Area
Dynamically updates its content based on the tool panel selected in the top bar. For example, when the Editor panel is selected, this area displays the coding process and code output in real time.
4. Status Bar
(Editor only), used to display status information and provides access to resource explorer and cue.
Billing
In SOLO mode, when users interact with Builder agents, Builder with MCP agents, or custom agents, each interaction consumes one chat attempt for the selected model once the agent starts responding. Each conversation with the SOLO Builder agent consumes one fast queue chat attempt for the super model.
Fast requests granted by SOLO Code can be used in both SOLO mode and IDE mode. When you still have remaining fast requests in your subscription plan or additional packages, these fast requests will be deducted first.
Switching
The SOLO mode toggle switch is located in the upper-left corner of TRAE. You can use it to switch between SOLO mode and IDE mode.
Note: You cannot switch modes when AI is responding.
Features
Tool Panels
SOLO mode provides four tool panels - Editor, Terminal, Browser, and DocView - to display AI workflows and results.
Editor
Displays the coding process and final code. Code changes made by agents are automatically accepted before a new round of chat begins or when switching chats. You can manually edit code or select code snippets and send them to AI chat for further processing. For operations like deleting files or code, AI will seek your approval before execution.
Terminal
Shows the process and results of command execution. You can select command output content and send it to AI chat for details. If errors occur, you can also select error information and send it to AI chat for analysis and processing.
Browser
Displays the AI-built web application for your preview.
- If you need to modify elements, click the select button in the upper-right corner to enable element selection mode, then select the target element and send it to AI chat for modification. Static text supports click-to-edit.
- If you need to deploy the project, click the deploy button in the upper-right corner to start the deployment task (refer to the "Deployment" section for more information).
- Enter a URL in the address bar to view the corresponding external webpage.
- If there are console errors in the current project, relevant information will be displayed at the bottom of the panel. You can send errors to AI chat for analysis and processing.
DocView
Shows the PRD generation process and drafts. You can continuously chat with AI to refine the PRD, manually edit the PRD, or select specific content and send it to chat for further discussion with AI.
