French AI startup Mistral has launched Vibe, a unified AI agent that brings its workplace and coding tools under one platform as competition intensifies in the market for task-performing AI systems.
The company announced Vibe on 28 May, describing it as “one agent and one license across work and code,” with existing conversations, settings and plans carried over.
Mistral’s documentation says Vibe is available in three modes: Work for productivity, Code for developers, and Chat, which preserves the legacy Le Chat experience.
Work Mode is aimed at business users and is designed to handle long-running, multi-step tasks across enterprise tools.
Mistral said it can search across Google Workspace, Outlook, SharePoint, Slack, GitHub and custom connectors, analyze spreadsheets and databases, generate charts and dashboards, draft reports and presentations, and run recurring workflows.
Code Mode allows developers to launch remote coding agents from the web, editor or terminal. Mistral said these sessions run in isolated cloud sandboxes, can continue while users step away, and can produce reviewable pull requests.
The company also introduced a Vibe extension for Visual Studio Code and updated its command-line tools.
Vibe runs on Mistral models optimized for reasoning, coding, tool use and agentic tasks. The company has also tied Vibe’s remote coding agents and Work Mode updates to Mistral Medium 3.5, its latest model for long-running coding and productivity work.
The launch puts Mistral more directly into competition with AI assistants from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, as software companies move from chatbots toward agents that can work across applications, code repositories and business systems.
