# Vibe

Vibe is Mistral's **unified agent** for productivity and coding tasks, built for professional use and available across web, mobile, your code editor, and your terminal.

It runs in two modes, each shaped for a different kind of task:

- **Work**: the unified experience in the Vibe web and mobile apps. Quick conversations and multi-stage professional tasks (research, drafts, summaries, scheduled runs) happen in the same place, and a **fast/think toggle** switches between quick conversational responses and deeper, agentic workflows.
- **Code**: development in your terminal, in VS Code, or as remote cloud sessions.

:::info
**Chat and Work are now one.** Vibe used to split quick conversations (**Chat**) and multi-step agentic work (**Work**) into two tabs, so you had to pick a surface before you could start a task. Since September 22, they're merged into a single experience: one place for every conversation, where the **fast/think toggle** sets how deep Vibe goes — not which tab you're in. The <AppLink href="https://chat.mistral.ai">chat.mistral.ai</AppLink> URL remains the entry point, and your plan, history, and settings are preserved.

The rollout is progressive: self-serve Free, Pro, and Teams accounts are migrated first. Enterprise organizations follow with a six-month migration window — administrators pick the migration date in the admin panel or trigger the merge immediately. If you relied on Agents, use [Skills](/vibe/work/skills) instead — invoke them with `@`. Onboarding modals walk you through what changed the first time you open the unified experience.

Across every mode, you interact with Vibe **the same way**: same Mistral models, same patterns, same control. A typical Vibe workflow looks like this:

1. **You describe the outcome you want** in natural language.
2. **Vibe gathers context** from your prompt, attached files, connected tools, or the web.
3. **Vibe plans and acts**: it breaks the task into steps, calls the right tools, and shows its progress in real time.
4. **You review and reuse**: outputs are inspectable, editable, and reusable across sessions.

**At every step, you stay in control.** Vibe asks for approval before sensitive actions, shows every tool call, and lets you steer or stop at any point.

:::info
**Temporary Chat** starts a conversation that isn't saved to your history or used to train our models. We only log that a Temporary Chat happened, not its content, and data may be retained where legally required.
