Since OpenAI introduced Deep Research, an AI agent that can conduct research for users and generate a comprehensive report, many other companies have released their own versions of this capability, all named Deep Research.
Deep Research, as a feature and product, can be accessed through various platforms, including Google’s Gemini, AlphaSense, You.com, DeepSeek, Grok 3 and many others. Now, French company Mistral joins the fray with the launch of deep research capabilities into its Le Chat, among other updates to the platform.
In a blog post, the company said Deep Research and other new features will make Le Chat “even more capable, more intuitive and more fun.”
Le Chat users can open research mode and ask it something. The chatbot then asks questions to clarify some information and then begins gathering sources. It will put together “a structured, reference-backed report that’s easy to follow.”

Mistral said its research is powered by a Deep Research agent, which it designed to be “genuinely helpful” and feels like working with an organized research partner.
Deep Research has been called “the first mass market AI that could displace jobs,” especially since it can put out reports faster than human analysts.
Mistral also updated “thinking mode,” where Le Chat users can access the company’s chain-of-thought model Magistral, to read and respond in different languages. It can also code-switch mid-sentence.
