A proactive project produced in early 2026, with no brief and no order: an openly "fan-made" video, conceived as a demonstration of what motion design can do for an AI product. Pixel-art direction, Le Chat as the central character, and a level of finish calibrated to speak to engineering teams and decision-makers alike. The film opened a direct conversation with Mistral AI's Head of DevRel, and has been the studio's commercial spearhead ever since.

Self-initiated project, not commissioned by Mistral AI.
