Connect Mistral AI

A Mistral AI connection lets the Mistral AI steps ask Mistral's models, make embeddings and read documents, using your company's own API key. Bizomate does not pay for or resell AI use: Mistral bills your account, and each run's output shows what it used.

Who can do this

Workspace Admins and Editors, on every plan — Mistral AI is not a premium connection. Viewers see the connection but cannot add or change it.

On Mistral's side, someone who can create API keys in your organisation's Mistral account.

Before you start

Your Mistral account needs a plan chosen under Billing before its keys work.

Steps

In Mistral, make the key:

1. Sign in at console.mistral.ai.
2. Open API Keys and select Create new key.
3. Name it — for example Bizomate — and, if your account has several workspaces, choose the one whose billing it should use.
4. Copy the key. Mistral shows it only once.

In Bizomate, add the connection:

1. Select Connections in the bar at the top, then + Add connection.
2. Under AI, select Mistral AI. It reads "Stored credential".
3. In Connection name, type a name — for example Consulace Mistral.
4. Paste the key in API key. "Stored encrypted. It is never shown again after you save."
5. Optional: if the key has an end date, choose it in This key expires on · optional.
6. Leave Test the connection before saving ticked. Bizomate lists Mistral's models with the key before keeping it.
7. Select Save connection. The button reads Testing, then the dialog closes.

The toast "Connection added" says "“Consulace Mistral” is ready. Every workflow in this workspace can use it."

What happens next

• Test in the connection's panel lists the models the key can use and answers Reached Mistral AI · 42 models. Listing models costs nothing.
• In the designer, the Mistral AI steps list it under Connection: Ask a model, Create embeddings and Read a document (OCR).
• The Model list in each step is read from Mistral with this key, so new models appear without waiting for Bizomate.

Good to know

• A key cannot be shown again in Mistral. If it is lost, make a new one and replace it here.
• To use a new key: open the connection's panel and select Replace key, paste the new key and select Replace key. The old one is used until then, so no workflow fails in between. With Test the connection before saving ticked, nothing changes if Mistral refuses it. The toast says "Key replaced".
• Spending limits are set in Mistral, on the workspace's billing.
