Le Chat
Le Chat is Mistral AI's consumer-facing assistant, built on Europe's leading open-weight models. It features Canvas — an interactive workspace for generating and iterating on documents and code — alongside web search, image generation, and document analysis. MCP connects Le Chat to your own systems, expanding what Europe's fastest AI assistant can do.
Canvas Workspace + MCP Data
Canvas is Le Chat's interactive editing surface for documents and code. It renders generated content in a side panel where you can iterate — highlight a section, ask for changes, generate alternatives. MCP tools feed this workspace with real data: pull numbers from a database, generate a chart, and refine it all in Canvas.
Mistral models are multilingual and particularly strong in European languages. For teams operating in French, German, Spanish, or other EU languages, Le Chat offers performance comparable to GPT-4 with localized nuance.
