Advanced Mistral Vibe Workshop

This workshop delves deeper into the features of Mistral that are only briefly discussed during the Introduction to Mistral Vibe Workshop. We mainly focus on different use cases for agents, which will be interesting to support staff, teachers, teachers, course coordinators and researchers, but also cover connectors and Mistral Code.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is for support staff, researchers, teachers, and other professionals who want to expand their knowledge of Mistral Vibe by exploring more concrete Mistral features.

Content

During the workshop, we will discuss types of data that are allowed to be uploaded to Mistral Vibe, different pre-made agents for various use cases, and the connectors allowed within UG. We will also shortly touch upon the possibilities of coding with Mistral Code. Afterwards, a hands-on session will follow, during which participants can explore the pre-made agents on their own and adjust them to their own use cases. Student assistants will be present to provide support with this process.

What do you learn?

In this hands-on session, you will learn:

✅ Evaluate which data used in daily work may be uploaded to Mistral Vibe
✅ Memorize the contact point to discuss privacy risks and AI usage
✅ Understand how to create agents for work by gaining hands-on experience with premade agents, for example by:

• Collecting the latest articles in scientific journals on a certain topic and exporting them as a DOCX file
• Creating structured meeting minutes from a .txt file
• Creating a CSV file with email recipients and bodies to later feed this CSV file into a system capable of executing batch sends
• Creating a CSV file for course organization, including formulas to calculate the hours worked by student assistants and room allocation

✅ Use the Google Calendar connector in chats and learn how to give an agent access to the Google Calendar connector
✅ Understand the possibilities of Mistral Code

Preparation

For this workshop, it is assumed participants have attended the ‘Introduction to Mistral Vibe’ workshop.

It is recommended that participants obtain a licence for Mistral Vibe before attending the workshop. Since the accessible functionalities differ based on whether you are using a free version of Mistral or if you have a licence. If you are part of the UG, and your faculty/service has spare licences, it is possible to request a free Mistral Vibe licence.

Enrollment and fee

Attendance is free for UG staff and PhD-students, but registration is required.

Disclaimer

Mistral Vibe licences are not distributed during the workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to familiarize attendees with the different features of Mistral Vibe. Requesting a UG Mistral Vibe licence is a process independent to the workshop.

After requesting a Mistral Vibe licence, your faculty will evaluate whether to provide you with a licence or not based on the number of licences left. Additionally, before obtaining the licence, you will be asked to prove AI literacy. This can be either be done by completing the Online Critical AI Literacy Module, attending the AI tools for a General Purpose workshop or the Introduction Mistral Vibe workshop.

At the workshops, a QR code will be presented. Scanning this QR code provides proof of AI literacy. This proof is needed to complete your application process for the Mistral Vibe licence. The activation of your license is not done automatically however and this will likely not be processed within the time of the workshop.
