🤯 Replace ChatGPT Plus For $0 [Workshop]

Hey there,

The loudest noises in AI have come from Silicon Valley. But a startup in Paris have been quietly building something you should definitely be paying attention to.

In just over a year, a small team of 55 people have created an AI platform that can compete with anything else on the market.

And they're giving you access for free.

Founded by former Meta and Google DeepMind researchers, Mistral AI’s approach to Artificial Intelligence has seen them double down on efficiency, practical applications, and accessibility — with barely any marketing.

And, since early 2023, they’ve:

• Raised $640m, at a value of $6.2bn

• Launched seven different AI models (three completely open-source)

• Secured partnerships with tech giants like AWS, Microsoft, and IBM

Now, their latest set of updates have seen them develop into a genuine rival to the paid subscriptions you’re more familiar with.

Here’s what’s changed (and why you might want to make the switch):

Web Search & Research

Mistral's approach to advanced research capabilities has resulted in a strong alternative to ChatGPT Search.

While both tools can search the internet, Mistral’s Le Chat responses come with inline citations that create a clear trail back to their source. 

That means, because the research is built into the reply, you can quickly get layered, detailed responses from a single prompt.

What you could use this for: 

• Creating market research reports that are guaranteed to be up-to-date

• Writing thought leadership content with fresh industry data

• Developing new insights by combining historical data with current trends

Document Processing

ChatGPT's document analysis changed the game last year but, by handling up to 300 pages at once, and extracting data from complex charts and graphs, Mistral has completely redefined what's possible. 

Tasks that used to take days can now take minutes, and you can finally analyze relationships between documents that were previously difficult to connect.

Plus, with its ability to accurately extract text from images (in multiple languages), it can help you instantly uncover insights that would be nearly impossible to understand on your own.

What you could use this for: 

• Extracting insights from years of customer feedback data

• Analyzing research papers across different languages

• Reviewing legal documentation for inconsistencies

Canvas

ChatGPT’s Canvas is a breath of fresh air compared to the standard chatbot experience, and Mistral have taken that idea to the next level.

Its simplified layout allows you to ask for specific changes and even roll back to previous versions — giving you more control over your writing.

Plus, with real-time design previews you can see the exact formatting of your content while you create it.

What you could use this for: 

• Personalizing a core message to individual recipients

• Tweaking your content without leaving Mistral

• Turning short from ideas into structured, long form content

Agents

Agents are similar to Custom GPTs because they’re just as easy to access in your conversations.

These AI assistants can automate instructions, after learning from a few examples.

This means you can standardize regular processes and even combine different Agents to form reliable workflows.

What you could use this for: 

• Creating custom email responses that match your tone and style

• Processing and summarizing client meeting notes

• Generating on-brand content in seconds

The amount of value Mistral is giving away at no cost is an opportunity all AI users should be exploring.

Here’s how you can take advantage:

This Friday at 4 PM EST, Dr. Alvaro Cintas is hosting the exclusive workshop, “How to get ChatGPT-level performance for free with Mistral“

He’ll be walking us through:

• Mistral’s latest features — including document & image analysis, and web search for real-time research

• How to use Canvas for ideation, in-line editing, and content creation

• Setting up Agents to save time on repetitive tasks like meeting summaries and content automation

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be ready to make the most of the AI industry's best kept secret.

And you’ll also learn how to share access to Mistral—from the Canvas, to the Agents—and collaborate with your team at no extra cost.

Grab your spot at the workshop with a free 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University.

See you inside,

P.S. Let’s face it, a free workshop for a free tool that could completely change the way you work is probably better than any Black Friday email in your inbox right now. Watch it live, or catch the replay, by unlocking a 14-day trial here.
