Scrimba AI Courses

Scrimba's AI track teaches LLM application development in JavaScript and TypeScript: prompt engineering, agents, RAG, MCP, and the Vercel AI SDK. It is aimed at web developers who want to ship AI features, not at Python ML researchers.

Where to start

Start with the free Learn to Code with AI (4.5 hrs) or the free Intro to Mistral AI (1.4 hrs). Both let you touch the workflow without a Pro subscription before you commit to the deeper engineering courses.

Scrimba's docs also include a free written How AI Works handbook (opens in a new tab), covering the concepts behind this track: LLMs, prompting, embeddings, RAG, agents, and evals, with a Beginner, Intermediate, and Deep Dive depth switcher. Its code examples lean Python, but the ideas are language-agnostic and map onto the JavaScript patterns these courses teach.

The OpenAI Assistants API course covers a legacy API that OpenAI is winding down in favour of its newer Responses API, so treat it as useful background rather than the current recommended approach.

How to progress

Begin with the free Learn to Code with AI, then add Intro to AI Engineering for the JS-dev-meets-LLMs foundation. Layer on Learn AI Agents and Learn RAG for the two core application patterns, then Intro to Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Build a Support Agent with Vercel AI SDK for the current plumbing.

Where it fits

These courses are sequenced into the AI Engineer Path on Scrimba Pro, the single best reason to subscribe in this category. Browse every track on the Learning Paths hub.
