Mistral has rebranded its chatbot “Le Chat” as “Vibe” and launched a new agent-based interface. This goes beyond simple conversation and can carry out tasks autonomously. The platform is divided into Chat, Work, and Code sections. “Work” serves as a central productivity hub, allowing users to connect external apps such as Gmail, Slack, and GitHub. This enables the AI to handle multi-step workflows like research, summarization, and document creation.
The “Code” section focuses on software development in terminal, IDE, or web environments and supports autonomous programming tasks. With Vibe, Mistral is clearly positioning itself toward a comprehensive AI agent for work and development. Currently, there is one free and three paid versions available, although the differences between them could be made clearer.
