Mistral Vibe (Le Chat)
Vibe is Mistral AI’s assistant, previously known as Le Chat, for research, writing and everyday tasks, with a coding agent available on web, terminal, IDE and mobile.
About this tool
Mistral AI’s consumer and professional assistant is now presented under the name Vibe, and Mistral’s pricing page refers to it as Vibe or Le Chat, the name it carried until recently. It offers conversations with Mistral’s most capable models, a voice mode that records or accepts audio and returns transcripts, and improved image generation and editing on paid tiers.
Vibe also covers software development. A browser version runs long tasks from a chat interface, a command-line agent powered by Mistral’s Devstral models handles autonomous engineering work, and plugins for VS Code and JetBrains add completion, natural-language edits and context-aware chat. Apps exist for iOS and Android, and Team and Enterprise plans add a shared workspace and private deployments.

- A developer delegates a refactor to the Vibe CLI and reviews the result.

Before you choose
The product has been renamed, so older tutorials and app listings may still say Le Chat; check you are using the current app.
Pro usage is subject to fair-use limits and Mistral’s terms, so heavy coding sessions may hit caps.
