About Le Chat

Le Chat is the AI assistant from Mistral AI, the Paris company founded in 2023 by Arthur Mensch, Guillaume Lample and Timothée Lacroix. Mistral is the best-known European model developer, and Le Chat is its consumer and business front end, available on the web and as iOS and Android apps.

Le Chat runs on Mistral's own models and offers web search with citations, deep research reports, document and image analysis, a code interpreter, image generation, a canvas for editing longer texts and code, memories and projects to organize work. Agents and connectors link it to business tools. A free plan covers core features with usage limits; Pro adds higher limits and access to the strongest models; Team adds shared workspaces and admin; and Enterprise can be deployed in Mistral's cloud, a private cloud or on premises. Responses are notably fast, partly thanks to optimized inference.

Le Chat fits European companies and public bodies that care about data residency and vendor sovereignty, developers already using Mistral models through the API, and cost-conscious users who want a capable assistant. On the hardest reasoning and coding tasks it generally trails the very top models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and its ecosystem of integrations is smaller. ChatGPT remains the broadest general assistant, Claude is preferred for long documents and careful writing, and Gemini integrates best with Google Workspace.
