Leveraging Marketing Documents

Update November 2, 2026 — Le Chat is now Vibe. As of May 28, 2026, Le Chat has been rebranded as Vibe (still at chat.mistral.ai): a single agent for work and code, carrying over your conversations, settings, and subscriptions. The legacy Le Chat experience remains accessible in Chat mode; in Work mode, agents are now skills (invoked with @), memories serve as the knowledge base, and deep research is the Deep Research skill. The plans are now called Mistral Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise. This lesson uses the name Vibe; note that some menus described here may have changed names or locations.

Documents: An Underutilized Gold Mine

Annual reports, industry studies, competitor brochures, internal presentations—your daily life as a marketer is surrounded by PDFs and other files. Most get downloaded, dumped into a shared folder, and never opened again. This isn’t negligence; it’s because reading a hundred pages to extract three key figures isn’t a reasonable investment. Mistral Vibe changes the math. It can analyze these documents, extract critical data, and generate actionable summaries in minutes, making that investment worthwhile.

Analyzing Reports and Studies

Upload a PDF to Vibe for instant analysis. The quality of the output depends entirely on how precise your prompt is. An industry report contains plenty of information that doesn’t concern you, so you must specify exactly what you need.

Example prompt: “Here is the 2025 annual report for [company/organization] [attached PDF]. Extract the following: key market figures, identified trends, main recommendations, and data directly relevant to our sector [specify sector]. Present the results as actionable bullet points.”

The exercise takes on new dimensions when you compare multiple studies. Points of convergence give you defensible claims; divergent figures tell you where to exercise caution before citing data publicly.

Example prompt: “Here are three studies on the EdTech market in France [attached PDFs]. Create a comparative synthesis: Where do the studies agree? Which figures diverge? What trends have reached consensus? What conclusions should we draw for our content strategy?”

Extracting Data from Brochures and Catalogs

Vibe can read text within images and scanned PDFs, unlocking a category of documents that was previously unusable: trade show brochures, photographed price lists, or unstructured catalogs.

Example prompt: “Here is our competitor’s sales brochure [attached PDF/image]. Extract: their product/service range, pricing tiers (if visible), sales arguments, guarantees, and differentiators. Compare this with our own offering [summary of our offer].”

Your own catalogs deserve the same treatment, but for a different reason. A twenty-page document built by multiple people almost always contains inconsistencies in pricing, naming, or descriptions that no one has time to track down manually.

Example prompt: “Here is our 20-page product catalog PDF [attached PDF]. Extract all product names, their key features, and their prices. Present them in a structured table. Identify any inconsistencies (pricing, descriptions, naming).”

Creating Marketing Syntheses

A creative brief is usually built from three or four documents read in parallel. Loading them together allows you to produce a brief that actually accounts for each source, rather than relying on the market study while ignoring the brand guidelines.

Example prompt: “Here is our market study [PDF], our customer persona [PDF], and our brand guidelines [PDF]. Based on these three documents, write a creative brief for our upcoming back-to-school campaign. The brief must include: market context, priority target, key message, desired tone, graphic constraints, and expected deliverables.”

Technical whitepapers pose the opposite problem: the content is excellent, but unreadable for the audience you want to reach. Adapting it into several simplified formats is what finally gives it a chance of being downloaded.

Example prompt: “Here is our 15-page technical whitepaper on [topic] [attached PDF]. This content is too technical for our marketing audience. Based on this document, create: a 300-word executive summary, five simplified LinkedIn posts, a 100-word email pitch to promote the whitepaper download, and a list of 10 FAQ questions for a landing page.”

Leveraging Internal Presentations

Your internal presentations often contain data the market would love to see. Obviously, not everything is publishable, so confidentiality constraints must be part of the prompt itself, not just an afterthought during review.

Example prompt: “Here is our internal presentation on Q1 2026 results [slides PDF]. Identify data and charts that could be turned into external content. Propose three blog post angles and five LinkedIn posts based on these results, while respecting the confidentiality of specific financial data.”

Slides also help prepare a speaking engagement. What a speaker usually lacks isn’t the slide content, but the transitions and interaction points that fill twenty minutes effectively.

Example prompt: “Here are the 12 slides for my conference presentation on [topic] [attached PDF]. Write speaker notes for each slide: what I should say, transitions between slides, anecdotes to insert, and moments for audience interaction. Total duration: 20 minutes.”

Smart Document Management

A messy marketing database wastes every new hire’s time and surfaces outdated documents at the worst possible moments. Asking Vibe to propose a taxonomy, including confidentiality levels and gap analysis, transforms a shared folder into a real resource.

Example prompt: “Here are 10 documents from our marketing database: [titles + short descriptions]. Propose a taxonomy to organize these documents: categories, tags, and confidentiality levels. Identify obsolete documents that need updating and gaps in our documentation.”
