ASEAN Perspective

以本地化部署能力切入金融、央国企等安全敏感场景,是百度智能云 B 端业务的代表产品之一。

RECATOOLS Verdict

Comate is a broad, mature assistant: plugins for every major IDE, its own AI IDE, a multi-agent coding agent, Figma-to-code and an unusual range of enterprise deployment options, up to fully private installs. The free tier and Auto-Free fallback keep it usable without paying, and personal Pro is cheap at ¥59 a month on the site.

Adoption claims are Baidu's own, the documented models are now third-party Chinese models rather than ERNIE, and documentation and support are Chinese-first. A strong pick in China or for private deployment; elsewhere, trial it on your own code against Copilot or Cursor first.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

Baidu Comate, branded 文心快码 in Chinese, is Baidu's AI coding assistant. Baidu AI Cloud unveiled it in Chengdu on 6 June 2023 and opened an invitation beta the same day; the name comes from "coding mate". It runs as a plugin for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio and Xcode, as a command-line tool, and since 23 June 2025 as a standalone Comate AI IDE that Baidu launched with design-file-to-code and multi-agent features.

Today it offers code completion and next-edit suggestions, a coding agent that splits large tasks among sub-agents, Spec mode, a Mission work mode, Figma-to-code, custom agents, skills, rules and MCP connections. Baidu's product page still describes its own Wenxin code model as the core engine, but the model list in its documentation, updated August 2026, names DeepSeek V4, Zhipu's GLM, Moonshot's Kimi and MiniMax models and no ERNIE model. Enterprise customers can add other providers' APIs.

Baidu's adoption figures are its own. Robin Li said in April 2024 that Comate wrote 27% of Baidu's new code each day, and Baidu put the share above 43% at the AI IDE launch in June 2025. The enterprise page cites an IDC assessment of China's code-generation products in which Comate scored full marks on eight of nine dimensions.

Pricing has been reworked around points. Personal Standard is free with 5,000 starter points. Pro lists at ¥70 a month or ¥840 a year, shown at ¥59 a month on the site, with 25,000 points a month; Max lists at ¥280, shown at ¥199, with 100,000. When points run out, an Auto-Free mode keeps going on a free model within an hourly token allowance. Enterprise Pro costs ¥150 per person a month, Flagship ¥358, and private deployment ¥2,500 per person a year for at least 100 seats.

For teams in China, or anyone needing private deployment, it is a serious option. Elsewhere, Chinese-first documentation and support count against it.
