+## Mistral assistant
+
+The in-app assistant calls Mistral from the API server. Configure the key in the API environment, never in the Angular client:
+
+```bash
+MISTRAL_API_KEY=your-mistral-api-key
+MISTRAL_MODEL=mistral-small-latest
+```
+
+The authenticated frontend calls `POST /api/assistant/chat`; the API then calls Mistral and may execute allowed Listify actions such as creating lists or adding list items.

 ## Run tests
