Intro to Mistral AIIntro to Mistral AI
Intro to Mistral AI is Per Borgen's free Scrimba course on building apps with the Mistral API, from simple chat completions to RAG and function calling. Its lessons run as a small Vite project in the browser. In the function-calling lesson, the model decides to call a function you wrote, and the result shows up in the browser console. On Scrimba the project reads your Mistral key from the environment; on your own machine that lookup needs one change before anything runs.
These pages accompany the course. They hold the setup detail that changes faster than a recorded lesson can, so it can be corrected here instead of re-recorded.
