Switch from Mistral Vibe to Task Machine
Mistral Vibe Work starts executing while its task checklist develops in the conversation. Task Machine gives people and agents owned Tasks with plans to review before execution.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Why people switch
-
Execution starts before plan review
Work's safety guide says there is no upfront plan to approve. For longer tasks, you watch its checklist develop while execution is already underway.
-
Scheduling is still in preview
Scheduled tasks are in Public Preview, with interface, naming and options subject to change. Their triggers are time-based for now.
-
Knowledge edits go through chat
You can ask Vibe to correct a Knowledge entry, but you cannot edit its text directly. Its guide also says there is no separate API for knowledge entries.

| Area | In Mistral Vibe | In Task Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks |
In Mistral Vibe
Work shows progress, tool calls and intermediate outputs in a conversation. Projects group chats with shared instructions and files. |
In Task Machine
Every job is a Task owned by a person or an agent. Its plan, discussion, decisions, runs and history stay together, so people and agents can hand work to each other on the same record. |
| Approval |
In Mistral Vibe
Work asks before external writes such as sending email or changing an issue. You can pre-authorize individual Connector functions with Always allow. |
In Task Machine
Decisions arrive in your Inbox with context. Set each agent's actions to Ask first or Automatic, and add a Human approval step before sending a report. |
| Recurring work |
In Mistral Vibe
Schedule a prompt once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Finished results appear in the sidebar as conversations you can open and follow up on. |
In Task Machine
Start a Task or Workflow once or on a repeat in your timezone. A recurring job keeps one root Task, with each occurrence's own status and history. |
| Memory |
In Mistral Vibe
Knowledge saves explicit requests and recurring conversational details for later tasks. You can inspect saved entries, ask for deletion and export your data from Settings. |
In Task Machine
Agents keep lessons from corrections, such as an accepted example or a mistake to avoid. You can read, correct and restore notes kept per agent, project, goal, team and workspace. |
| Workflows |
In Mistral Vibe
Work runs Workflows that developers build in Studio and publish to the workspace. Select one from the conversation's tool menu to call it and receive its output in chat. |
In Task Machine
Build a Workflow with explicit steps, branches, human questions and approvals. Verifier checks judge results against requirements and send failed work back with feedback. |
| Connections |
In Mistral Vibe
Featured Connectors connect services such as Slack, Linear and Outlook through an authorization flow. Work can use a connected service automatically when it is relevant to your request. |
In Task Machine
Install services from the Connectors catalog or add a custom connection through an API, command-line tool or Model Context Protocol. Assign each connection to the agents that need it. |
| Pricing |
In Mistral Vibe
Vibe has Free, Pro and Team plans, plus Enterprise. Its pricing page also lists pay-as-you-go credits to extend usage beyond a plan's limit. |
In Task Machine
Usage based, from $29 a month before tax. The whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares, with no base fee. |

You may stay with Mistral Vibe if
You may stay with Mistral Vibe if conversation-led research and drafting already fit your day. Its Skills package reusable instructions and supporting files, and Canvas lets you edit tables and preview slide decks inside the chat. Keep a working setup if you value that editing experience more than assigning and reviewing work as Tasks. This guide focuses on Vibe Work, its productivity mode.
What you give up
Task Machine's docs do not describe Vibe's in-chat Canvas spreadsheet editing or slide-deck preview, or an importer for Vibe conversations and Studio Workflows. Keep the original files and exported deliverables, then rebuild the process rather than expecting a chat archive to become a working Task.
Moving takes time to reconnect accounts, copy guidance and check the replacement against a finished example. There is no trial. Read Billing before moving a long-running job, because AI work and execution consume usage even when an attempt fails.
How the switch works
- Before changing your subscription, export your Knowledge data from Settings. Copy the Project instructions and keep its original files. Preserve the Skills' instructions and supporting files, and export any Canvas slide decks you need as PowerPoint files. Check the account's export options for the conversations you want to archive.
- Create your workspace. Reconnect the services the first job needs through Connectors, and upload its source files and reviewed guidance to the Library. Treat exports as reference material, not imported automations.
- Start with one job, such as a weekly customer brief. Plan it in Chat, choose an owner and agree on the requirements. Use a Playbook or rebuild the process in the Workflow builder, including a review before anything is sent.
- Set autonomy so unfamiliar actions ask first. Run copied inputs, inspect the result and Run history, then correct the guidance before using live customer data.
- Pause the original Vibe schedule before activating its replacement. Set the new schedule and timezone, and check the first result before allowing unattended writes.
Common questions
Is this guide about Vibe Code?
It focuses on Vibe Work, the productivity mode for tasks across apps and tools. Keep software-development migration separate from moving your briefs, reports and connected-app work.
What happens to my data?
Vibe documents Knowledge exports from Settings and PowerPoint exports from Canvas. Keep those and your original sources. Task Machine's docs do not describe importing Vibe conversations, so save useful material in the Library and rebuild the active process.
How do the costs compare?
Vibe's pricing combines plans with additional pay-as-you-go usage. Task Machine is usage based, from $29 a month before tax, with no base fee and no trial. Compare a representative job rather than treating a conversation as a fixed amount of work. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never custodies your accounts. See pricing.
Can I approve the plan before execution?
Yes. Plan in Chat and review the plan and acceptance criteria before the agent starts. Later questions and approvals come to your Inbox, where you can decide with the work's context.
