Practical tasks
Editorial examples based on documented features. No product tests performed.
Weekly research with report
- Your input
- A prompt with source guidance, set up as a scheduled task in Work mode.
- Possible result

- What to check
- Read the result and sources; pre-authorise only read actions for unattended runs.
Code change in the CLI
- Your input
- A trusted project folder with AGENTS.md and a limited task.
- Possible result
- Vibe changes files and asks about shell commands.
- What to check

Requirements and limits
Requirement
Account or API key
For Mistral-hosted models the CLI signs in with a Mistral account through the browser or with an API key, and this also works in Free mode. A Mistral account is optional for local models or other OpenAI-compatible keys.
Source 6Requirement
Python 3.12 for manual installation
The CLI needs a GIL-enabled build of Python 3.12 or later; uv can install it. On Windows it works per the README, but UNIX is the officially supported target.
Source 5Limitation
Scheduled tasks: preview and pre-authorisation
Sensitive connector actions such as sending email need a pre-granted Always allow for unattended runs. The page recommends read-only prompts.
Source 11Limitation
Smart approve is not a sandbox
According to the safety page, smart approve is a classifier, not a sandbox. For untrusted code it recommends the ask profile or an isolated environment.
Source 8Limitation
Zero data retention does not cover Vibe conversations
The page excludes Vibe Work and Chat because they store conversation data. Organisations on paid plans can request ZDR from support.
Source 13Not yet confirmed
Model training on your data
The pricing page lists Opt-out three times in its model training row without it being clear which plan each entry belongs to.
Source 4Not yet confirmed
Remote agents, hooks and teleport by plan
The pricing page does not say which plan includes these features.

Data hosted in the EU by default
The help article on storage location says data is hosted in the EU by default; if you choose the US API endpoint, it is hosted in the United States. Depending on the feature, data may temporarily go to subprocessors outside the EU. Enterprise customers can have some of these features turned off at organisation level. The article does not name Vibe or Le Chat explicitly.
Region, reason and source
Region covered: EU/EEA
Documented reason: Statement on storage location with exceptions; the article does not name Vibe.

Memory and conversation continuity
4 of 6 criteria documented
Vibe Work keeps details in a visible Knowledge Base that you can view, delete and export; the CLI resumes sessions but describes no memory.
Knowledge Base and conversations in Vibe Work; session logs of the CLI
Sources accessed:
Documentation by criterion
StorageDocumented
Storage and scope
Vibe stores conversation data so you can use your history; the Knowledge Base holds entries with a title and description. The CLI writes session logs under ~/.vibe/logs/ when session logging is enabled.
SelectionDocumented
Selection and timing
Entries are created explicitly (“remember”, “save”) or implicitly when Vibe detects recurring useful details. For the CLI, the README describes no memory feature.
Edit & deleteDocumented
Inspect, edit and delete
You see each entry, cannot edit the text directly but ask Vibe in chat to change it, and delete a topic through the menu. Deleting everything is irreversible; settings allow an export.
Access boundariesPartly documented
Agent and channel boundaries
The Knowledge Base exists in Work mode only; admins can disable it organisation-wide. The page describes no split by person, workspace or project. The CLI’s project configuration loads only from explicitly trusted folders.
RetrievalDocumented
Retrieval
Vibe reviews the entries at each turn to decide which are relevant; retrieval is not deterministic. A read or write pill shows accesses. In the CLI, --resume (picker) and --continue reopen earlier sessions.
New conversationsPartly documented
Session reset and compaction
In the CLI, /clear starts a new conversation; /compact compacts it while, per the README, the same session stays. For Vibe Work, the reviewed page describes no such command.
