Task Machine and Mistral Vibe compared, with the source and check date of each answer
What you compare Task Machine Mistral Vibe
Goals Task Machine Yes

Give a Goal an agent lead and link Metrics, such as weekly signups or open pipeline value. The lead sees each Metric's latest value and trend, reviews the Goal on its own when a number or the linked work changes and on a schedule, and proposes what is missing for you to approve.

taskmachine.io/docs/goals
Mistral Vibe Partly

Work takes an outcome in natural language and breaks it into steps. Its docs do not describe a goal owner tracking a measurable target and reviewing progress against it.

docs.mistral.ai/…/get-started
Leads Task Machine Yes

Goals, Projects and Teams each have a lead, a person or an agent. A Goal lead checks that the work can still reach the outcome. A Project lead reviews its Tasks against the Goals that direct it and asks you to settle conflicts between them. A Team lead triages the queue. Every gap becomes a proposal you approve.

Mistral Vibe Not published

Its Work docs do not describe person or agent leads that coordinate projects, goals or teams. Projects group conversations and shared context rather than defining a coordinating lead.

Tasks Task Machine Yes

Every job is a Task that a person or an agent owns. The Task keeps its plan, discussion, decisions, runs and history together, so you can steer one job in detail without reading a chat log, and people and agents hand work to each other on the same record.

taskmachine.io/docs/tasks
Mistral Vibe Partly

Work keeps task progress, tool calls and follow-up messages in conversations, which Projects can group. Its docs do not describe work records assignable to either people or agents.

Recurring work Task Machine Yes

Start a Task or Workflow once, on a schedule in your timezone, or when a service event arrives, such as a paid invoice or a pull request review. A recurring job keeps one stable root Task and gives each occurrence its own status and history, so repeated work does not flood your board.

Mistral Vibe Partly

Work schedules prompts once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly in Public Preview. Its scheduling docs say triggers are time-based for now. Event-triggered workflow execution is documented separately in Studio.

Workflows Task Machine Yes

A Workflow repeats your steps in the same order every time, with branches, human questions and approvals, and verifier checks that judge each result against its requirements and send weak work back with feedback. Every run keeps a step-by-step history you can read afterwards.

taskmachine.io/docs/workflow-builder
Mistral Vibe Yes

Work runs deterministic Workflows that developers build in Studio and publish to the workspace. You attach one to a conversation. Workflow authoring happens outside Work.

Autonomy Task Machine Yes

Consequential decisions land in your Inbox with their context. You set what each agent may do on its own: every action is either Ask first or Automatic, per agent, and you can change that whenever the work or the stakes change.

Mistral Vibe Yes

Work asks for approval before external writes such as sending email or changing an issue. You can pre-authorize individual Connector functions with Always allow. Requests appear in the conversation.

Learned autonomy Task Machine Yes

Task Machine studies the approvals and corrections you already make. When an agent does well it proposes giving it more freedom, and when it needs closer supervision it proposes tighter review, each with the evidence. A short lucky streak is not enough, and nothing changes until you accept.

Mistral Vibe Not published

Its docs do not describe proposing permission changes from your approval history. Knowledge stores conversational context, while users change Connector permissions themselves.

Memory Task Machine Yes

Agents keep lessons from your corrections, such as an accepted example or a mistake to avoid, and carry the relevant notes into later work. Memory is kept per agent, project, goal, team and workspace, and you can read, correct and restore any note.

taskmachine.io/docs/memories
Mistral Vibe Yes

Knowledge saves explicit requests and recurring conversational details for later tasks. You can inspect entries, ask Vibe to correct or delete them, and export them. Edits go through chat rather than a direct text editor.

docs.mistral.ai/…/knowledge
Planning Task Machine Yes

Plan in Chat with your agents, and the plan becomes Tasks or Library documents instead of staying in a chat log. Before an agent starts, you review its plan and the acceptance criteria its work will be judged against.

taskmachine.io/docs/planning-in-chat
Mistral Vibe Partly

Work asks clarifying questions and shows a live todos panel during longer tasks. Its docs explicitly say there is no upfront plan to approve and that execution starts immediately.

Intake Task Machine Yes

Send work in over HTTP with a project token. It lands in the project as a Task, or in your Inbox as a proposal first. A team lead agent triages it to the right owner and asks you only when the decision is yours.

Mistral Vibe Partly

Work can read connected email through Gmail or Outlook. Its docs do not describe incoming requests automatically routed to a Work task owner. Studio webhooks start separate workflow executions.

Connectors Task Machine Yes

Install services from a catalog as MCP servers, APIs or command-line tools, or add your own custom Connector for any of the three. Events Connectors receive webhooks from a service, such as a paid invoice, and start Workflows or wake a waiting Task.

taskmachine.io/docs/connectors
Mistral Vibe Partly

Work offers featured app Connectors and custom remote Model Context Protocol servers, marked beta on pricing. Event triggers are documented for Studio workflows rather than Work conversations.

Models Task Machine Yes

Auto is the default. For each stage of the work it chooses a model from the task, current model capabilities, pricing and your applicable budgets, and you can fix a specific model on an agent when you want to.

taskmachine.io/docs/agents
Mistral Vibe Partly

Work has a fast/think toggle for response depth, and Vibe Code lets you select models manually. The docs do not establish automatic model selection for each Work task or step.

Cloud or your own computer Task Machine Yes

Run agents in Managed Cloud with nothing to install, or connect a Local Worker, a computer you control, for local files, tools and accounts. You choose where each agent runs.

Mistral Vibe Yes

Vibe offers hosted access, and Enterprise customers can deploy on-premises, in a private cloud or on Mistral Cloud. The own-infrastructure option requires Enterprise rather than a self-serve Work plan.

Your own subscription Task Machine Yes

Sign in to your ChatGPT (Codex), Claude or GitHub Copilot subscription on a Local Worker, and the agents there use it instead of Task Machine's models.

Mistral Vibe Partly

Vibe Code CLI accepts your Mistral API key or another compatible provider's key. This is documented for Code, not for replacing model billing inside Work with your own subscription or key.

docs.mistral.ai/…/api-keys-profiles
Pricing Task Machine Yes

Usage based. From $29 a month before tax, the whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares across people and agents, with no base fee and no trial. Larger monthly amounts lower the AI and Cloud rates.

taskmachine.io/pricing
Mistral Vibe Yes

Vibe has Free, Pro at $14.99 per month and Team at $24.99 per user per month before tax, with fair usage limits. Pricing also lists pay-as-you-go credits for extending usage beyond plan limits.

Correctness Task Machine Yes

Every Task carries acceptance requirements, and each one gets a Pass, Fail or Uncertain check against the delivered work before a person reviews it. Workflow steps can add a verifier check that sends failed work back with feedback. You review the plan first, so the criteria exist before work starts.

Mistral Vibe Partly

Work includes a document-review Skill for completeness, compliance and consistency. Its guide asks users to verify drafts against sources rather than describing acceptance checks applied to every delivered task.

What you compare Task Machine Mistral Vibe
Code review rules Task Machine Yes

Internal code review checks completed changes against the enabled rules of your repository. Rule discovery reads the repository and proposes rules, each screened against violating and valid examples first, and Task Machine suggests turning off a rule that agents keep dismissing.

taskmachine.io/docs/repositories
Mistral Vibe Partly

Vibe Code can review bugs and risky changes, and loads AGENTS.md instructions. Its docs do not establish review results checked against a defined set of repository rules.

Adversarial review Task Machine Yes

When an approved plan has high sensitivity or a Critical review level, the change also gets an adversarial review. Two independent reviewers examine the changed files together for defects such as a broken caller or a duplicate charge on retry. Findings keep their reproduction steps, and a skipped or failed review never counts as a pass.

taskmachine.io/docs/task-reviews
Mistral Vibe Partly

Vibe Code documents a custom read-only red-team agent and independent subagents. These examples do not specify an independent second review of risky code changes.

docs.mistral.ai/…/agents
Risk rating Task Machine Yes

Before final review, Merge risk rates the exact revision Low, Moderate or High, with notes on alignment, impact, verification, rollback cost and error detection, plus file references. It informs your decision and never merges for you.

taskmachine.io/docs/pull-requests
Mistral Vibe Not published

Its docs do not describe a change-level risk rating before merge. Vibe Code leaves detailed review, required checks and merge decisions in GitHub.

docs.mistral.ai/…/sessions
Pull requests Task Machine Yes

Agents deliver against the exact reported revision, address review feedback and update the branch under your repository rules. Task Machine records its own approval of the exact commit before an agent may merge.

taskmachine.io/docs/pull-requests
Mistral Vibe Yes

Vibe Code Web opens pull requests from its working branch. While the sandbox remains active, you can paste reviewer comments or failing check output and ask the agent to revise the same branch.

docs.mistral.ai/…/sessions

Who each one suits

Mistral Vibe suits you if you want to delegate research, drafts and connected-app actions in a conversation. This comparison focuses on Vibe Work, the productivity mode. The software rows cover the same product's Code mode.

Task Machine suits you if you want people and agents to own Tasks, connect work to Goal metrics, and review a plan and acceptance criteria before execution. Decisions come to your Inbox with their context.

You may stay with Mistral Vibe if its Knowledge, reusable Skills and scheduled prompts already fit your work. You can approve sensitive actions in the conversation and pre-authorize individual Connector functions.

Follow conversations or assign work

Mistral Vibe Work breaks a request into steps and shows progress, tool calls and intermediate outputs. Projects group conversations with shared instructions and context. For longer tasks, the todos panel develops during execution. Its safety guide explicitly says there is no upfront plan to approve.

Task Machine keeps each job in an owned Task, with its plan, discussion, decisions and run history together. You review the plan and the requirements before an agent starts. A Goal can have an agent lead that reviews linked Metrics and proposes missing work.

Reuse methods and run defined processes

Vibe Work Skills save instructions and resources for repeatable methods. Knowledge carries saved details into later tasks, and you can inspect or correct it through chat. Work also runs deterministic Workflows, but developers build and publish those in Studio rather than authoring them inside Work.

Scheduled prompts run once or at a recurring time in Public Preview. Work's scheduling docs say event-based triggers may follow, while Studio already documents webhook-triggered workflow executions. A Studio webhook is not evidence of an incoming request becoming an assigned Work conversation.

Task Machine Workflows define steps, branches, questions and approvals. Verifier checks can return failed work for revision. Connectors can receive service events to start Workflows or wake a waiting Task.

What the prices cover

Mistral Vibe offers Free, Pro at $14.99 per month and Team at $24.99 per user per month before tax, subject to fair usage limits. Enterprise has custom pricing and deployment options. The pricing page also lists pay-as-you-go credits for extending usage. Code's billing guide explains that additional usage needs pay-as-you-go enabled and draws from prepaid credits.

Task Machine is usage based, from $29 a month before tax, and the whole payment becomes usage shared by your workspace with no base fee. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never takes custody of your accounts.

Common questions

Is Mistral Vibe the same as Le Chat?
Mistral says Le Chat is now Vibe and existing conversations, settings and plans carry over. Work is the productivity mode, while Code covers software development.

Can both ask before changing an external tool?
Yes. Vibe Work asks before sensitive external actions and lets you pre-authorize Connector functions. Task Machine lets you set each agent's actions to Ask first or Automatic and review decisions in the Inbox.

Can I edit what Vibe remembers?
Yes. Knowledge shows its saved entries and lets you ask for corrections or deletion in chat. Direct editing of an entry's text is not available. Task Machine lets you read and correct Memories.

Does Vibe Work build its own Workflows?
Work can run published Workflows. Its docs say developers build them in Studio and publish them to the workspace. Task Machine provides its own Workflow builder.
