First results on AGB stars with the ISOGAL mid-infrared survey are presented. We show that M6 and later spectral type giants are detected at 7 and 15 μm up to the distance of the Galactic Centre. Analysis of the observed magnitudes and colours indicates that most of the detected AGB stars in the Galactic Bulge are losing mass. ISOCAM CVF spectra on a field in the Bulge confirm the mass loss and also show a large diversity in the shape of the silicate feature.
