What Mistral can do
With Filex connected, Le Chat can search the documents you have stored, read what is in them and sort them into folders, so admin stops eating your evenings.
Say what the document is and Le Chat locates it, even when the file is a scan named after the date it was made.

Photos and images
Most people photograph documents rather than scan them: a letter, a prescription, a receipt, a form. They sit in the gallery between holiday pictures.
Filex reads the text in each photo and describes the rest, so Le Chat can search them like any other document and move them out of the gallery.
Ask for “the prescription from February” and Le Chat finds the photo from the words on the page.
Because Le Chat works on mobile too, you can snap a document and ask for it to be filed from the same phone.
Sort photos into Health, Identity or Housing folders by what they show, in one request.

I found 12 whiteboard photos and renamed each one with its subject and date.
Whiteboard - Physics - Mar 12
Whiteboard - Calculus - Mar 14
Whiteboard - Chemistry - Mar 19
12 files renamed
PDFs and documents
Contracts, notices, policies and statements arrive as PDFs and scans, often in several languages and formats, and rarely with helpful names.
Connected to Filex, Le Chat can search across them, read the right ones and answer from the text.
Look for “the notice about the rent increase” and Le Chat finds it from the content of the document.
Renewal dates, premiums and deadlines are read out of the file, with the source named.
If your documents mix languages, you can ask in the language you prefer and Le Chat reads them as they are.
Filex applies OCR to uploads, so scanned PDFs are searchable too.

Done. I moved 9 tax documents into Finance / Tax Returns.

Rename
Scanners and phones name files by timestamp. A folder of Scan_20260312.pdf and IMG_5521.jpg tells you nothing and sorts in the wrong order.
Le Chat can read each document through Filex and rename it with what it is, whose it is and when it is from.
Names like “Payslip - March 2026” are built from the content of the file, not from guesses.
Pick the pattern once and Le Chat uses it across the entire folder.
A vague folder name can be changed to match what ended up inside it.

Screenshots
Screenshots of tickets, confirmations, messages and codes pile up on your phone and your laptop with timestamp names.
Because Filex reads each screenshot, Le Chat can find the right one by its content and tidy the rest into folders.
Ask for “the screenshot of my train ticket” and Le Chat finds it from the text and content.
Group screenshots into Tickets, Receipts and Messages with a single instruction.
Each screenshot is renamed to describe what it is, so folders are readable at a glance.
