THE SIMPLE VERSION
What is Mistral Vibe?
Le Chat is now Mistral Vibe. Your old conversations, settings and plan carry over. Vibe combines Mistral's chat assistant for everyday work with broader agent and coding features. Beginners can still use it for normal questions, web search, documents, images and planning without touching the advanced coding tools.
✓ A good fit if you want to…
- Want a European all-round AI assistant
- Need chat, search, files and images together
- May later use agents, connectors or coding
– Choose another tool if you…
- Want the simplest possible first interface
- Do not want to review training preferences
- Need every web source checked automatically

POPULAR USES
What can it help with?
PLANS
Free or paid?
Limited messages, web searches, coding sessions, files, image generation, connectors and Studio access.
Best for trying Vibe and everyday chat tasks.Higher chat and search limits, long-running tasks, all-day coding, more images and expanded storage.
Best for frequent solo work, agents and coding.A collaborative workspace with higher allowances, up to 30GB storage per user, domain controls and data export.
Best for organisations; unnecessary for most beginners.✓Free is enough if…you mainly ask questions, search the web, work with occasional files or images and only test the agent or coding tools.
+Consider paid if…you need higher limits, long-running agents, frequent coding or larger document and image workloads. Team is for collaborative organisations.
