Today Mistral updates Le Chat with two features designed to move AI assistants from the lab into your daily work: an enterprise connectors store powered by MCP and a Memories system so conversations remember what matters. (mistral.ai)
What Le Chat brings now
The update includes a list of more than 20 enterprise connectors in beta, built so your assistant can search, summarize and act on data inside real company tools. They also introduce Memories in beta to keep personal and work context across conversations. (mistral.ai)
Sound useful? Imagine asking the assistant to analyze support tickets, check pull requests or pull payment insights without switching apps. That’s exactly what these connectors aim to do. (mistral.ai)
MCP Connectors: what you can connect and how it works
The connector list covers several categories: data, productivity, development, automation and commerce. Names mentioned include Databricks, Snowflake, GitHub, Atlassian, Asana, Outlook, Box, Stripe and Zapier, among others. You can also add custom connectors for specific cases. (mistral.ai)
It’s not just connectivity. The connectors are MCP powered, which means you can integrate them into flows that perform concrete actions: summarize reviews in Databricks and create tasks in Asana, review PRs in GitHub and document them in Notion, compare legal documents in Box and upload summaries, or detect payment anomalies in Stripe and create tickets in Linear.

Plus, the platform offers flexible deployments: mobile, browser, on premises, in your cloud or in Mistral Cloud, and admin controls to limit which connectors each user sees. (mistral.ai)
Memories: what they are and how you control them
Memories is in beta and aims to help Le Chat remember preferences, relevant facts and past decisions so it can give more personalized, consistent answers. The company says the system avoids sensitive inferences, filters out the ephemeral and prioritizes accuracy when retrieving memories. (mistral.ai)
You have full control: you can add, edit or delete memory entries, and there are tools to tweak privacy and what gets saved. They also announced a quick import of memories from ChatGPT to make migration easier. (mistral.ai)
Important: the promise is flexibility and control. If you worry about privacy, the product includes clear settings to manage what’s stored. (mistral.ai)
Why this matters to companies and developers
For product and operations teams this reduces friction: less copying and pasting between apps, less context lost between conversations, and automations that finish real actions in your tools. For developers, the ability to build custom MCP connectors means adapting the assistant to internal workflows without waiting for official integrations. (mistral.ai)
If you work in security or compliance, on-premises deployment options and admin controls are crucial because they let you keep data where your company requires. (mistral.ai)
How to get started and key dates
Mistral says both Connectors and Memories are available to all users on the Free plan, no card required. You can try Le Chat at chat.mistral.ai. (mistral.ai)
They also announced events to dive deeper into MCP: a webinar on September 9 and a hackathon in Paris on September 13 and 14. If you want to build, those are good chances to see examples and get direct support. (mistral.ai)
Final thought
Does this mean AI stops being an experimental toy and becomes a real part of your workflow? That’s the bet. If you want to save time on repetitive tasks and keep useful context across conversations, these updates are worth a try. Start by exploring the available connectors and review Memories settings before importing sensitive data. (mistral.ai)
