Mistral has released Agentic Search, a multi-step retrieval layer that enables AI systems to navigate, read, and verify information within complex documents. This tool is available through the Mistral Search Toolkit and Libraries in Studio and Vibe.
- The system uses five tools (search, open, navigate, read, grep) to allow models to inspect and refine results iteratively rather than relying on one-shot RAG.
- On FinanceBench, Agentic Search improved correctness from 26.7% to 86%, a 3x gain, while reducing p90 latency by up to 39.6%.
- On OfficeQA Pro, the approach achieved a +45.6 point gain (6.3% to 51.9%) for GLM-5.2 and reduced token consumption by up to one-third.
- The solution supports sensitive domain-specific data and works with existing indexes without requiring fine-tuning or model-specific training.
Agentic Search helps enterprises improve AI accuracy on dense, table-heavy documents like financial filings and legal contracts while reducing latency and token usage.
