ByteDance TRAE Just Launched SOLO Mode—It Blew My Mind

Friend, I was completely blown away by TRAE's newly launched SOLO mode.

I'm an "old" programmer with 8 years of experience wrestling with code.

Right now, my scalp is tingling.

It's terrifying—I only spoke two sentences the entire time.

SOLO built this Naruto character gacha game website for me.

Not only was the code beautifully written, but it was also deployed online instantly.

I recorded a video for you to experience this magical reality.

Because TRAE has just officially released the 2.0 SOLO mode.

The editor, terminal, documentation, browser, and tools are all unified in one workspace.

In plain language: this thing can precisely identify what resources and information you need based on your requirements.

Then, like it's on cheat mode, it automates everything—truly a full-stack context engineer.

With SOLO, you have an entire product, development, testing, and operations team at your fingertips.

From requirements to launch, it's by your side 24/7.

Currently, invitation codes are limited and hard to come by.

But don't worry, I pulled some strings and got an internal test invite code.

Let's cut to the chase and look at the real test.

Real Test

The SOLO mode layout looks like this, with the chat window moved to the left.

Click the IDE/SOLO button in the top left to switch back and forth—the interaction is genuinely cool.

First, I entered the following prompt:

SOLO started working hard, outputting a detailed product requirements document.

You think that's it?

It even generated a flowchart of the core processes for you.

If you're not satisfied with the product requirements document, you can directly modify it.

The service attitude is better than many product managers I've met.

Once you confirm, just click confirm to start development!

SOLO went crazy working again—the first version already impressed me.

But I'm greedy and felt there weren't enough cards.

So I asked it to add more cards and categorize them into R, SR, and SSR tiers.

There's also a "select element" feature in the top right corner of the browser window.

You can select the area you want to modify, add it to the chat, and make precise, targeted changes.

Once everything is done, click the deploy button in the top right corner to deploy to Vercel with one click.

The first time requires Vercel authorization—just keep clicking through, and the experience is so smooth it feels unreal.

Deployment is lightning fast, and when it's done, you get a shareable link and can redeploy multiple times.

Switch to the editor window, and you can see the complete project code.

The tech stack uses best practices from the community, so if you know code, you can jump in and modify it anytime.

The coolest part is that SOLO can collapse the workspace on the right.

Only the chat window remains—this is real confidence.

It truly wants you to experience the feeling of being the boss.

No need to watch the process, just focus on the results.

Epilogue

Faced with this magic, I found myself deep in thought late at night.

SOLO isn't just a flashy demo.

It's a turning point in history.

I remembered myself 8 years ago, just starting out, staying up late to write code, debugging a small feature into the early morning.

Back then, I thought programming was a craft that required time and practice.

But now, with a chat box and two sentences, a complete website is born.

I turned off my computer and walked onto the balcony—the city's lights still twinkled.

It's a lie to say I'm not afraid of how fast AI has evolved these past two years.

When AI can do in minutes what used to take us days, what is our value?

When product, development, testing, and operations can all be replaced by one tool, what do we have left?

Amid this fear, I also see another possibility.

If you have ideas but can't code, now you can turn your creativity into reality.

If you're a programmer, you can spend more time thinking and creating instead of writing repetitive code.

If you're an entrepreneur, your MVP cost is nearly zero.

The method has changed, but our desire to change the world hasn't.

Maybe this is the best era.

An era where everyone can be a creator.
