# Le Chat Work Mode
Le Chat Work Mode is a longer-running agentic mode in [[Le Chat]] introduced by [[Mistral AI]] in April 2026, alongside [[Mistral Medium 3.5]] and the [[Mistral Vibe]] / [[Mistral Remote Agents]] launches. It pushes Le Chat from a turn-by-turn chat surface to a multi-tool agentic worker that can run a full task across email, calendar, internal docs, and connected tools in a single session.
## What it does
- **Cross-tool workflows** — catch up across email, messages, and calendar in a single run
- **Research and synthesis** — dive into a topic across the web, internal docs, and connected tools, then produce a structured brief
- **Inbox triage** — read messages, draft replies, surface what needs the human's attention
- **Cross-system handoff** — turn a team discussion into Jira issues; spin a meeting into action items
## How it behaves
- **Sessions persist longer than a typical chat reply** — designed for tasks that span minutes to hours rather than seconds
- **Every action is visible** — each tool call and the model's thinking rationale are surfaced; the human can audit mid-run
- **Explicit approval gates on sensitive actions** — the agent stops and asks before doing anything irreversible (sending emails, creating tickets, writing to systems)
- **Powered by [[Mistral Medium 3.5]]** — the same merged-model default that drives Vibe's coding agents
## Why it matters
- Repositions Le Chat from "Mistral's [[ChatGPT]] competitor" to "an agentic worker that uses your tools" — closer to OpenAI's ChatGPT-with-Tasks than to a plain chat interface
- Pairs with [[Mistral Remote Agents]] to give Mistral a coherent "agentic worker" story across both knowledge work (Le Chat Work Mode) and engineering (Vibe Remote Agents)
- Visible thinking + explicit approvals are deliberate trust-building moves; the framing is "humans in the loop wherever they're needed"
## Caveats
- Public preview (April 2026) — capabilities, integration depth, pricing, and concurrency limits will move
- Available on Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans of [[Le Chat]] only
- Cross-tool agentic workflows raise privacy / data-handling considerations when pointed at email and internal docs; check Mistral's data residency commitments for the surfaces that matter
