About Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat)

Mistral Vibe is the AI assistant from Mistral AI, a company based in Paris. It was previously called Le Chat and was renamed Vibe in May 2026; existing conversations, settings and plans carried over, and the web app is still at chat.mistral.ai. Vibe combines a chat assistant for work (formerly Le Chat) with a coding agent called Vibe for code. It can answer questions, search the web, read uploaded files, generate and edit images, create spreadsheets and slides, and run longer multi-step tasks.
