# Mistral AI

**Mistral *****Le Chat*** is the **multilingual conversational AI assistant (chatbot)** built by the French AI company Mistral AI — think of it as their version of ChatGPT that you can use for questions, writing, coding, research and more.

It runs on Mistral’s own language models, offers a user-friendly interface (including web and mobile apps), and comes in both free and enterprise versions with customization and privacy controls.
