# Choose Your First Project

Choose a first XL1 project based on what you want to learn.

Start with the smallest sample that proves the capability you need.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Local</td><td><strong>Run XL1 on your computer</strong></td><td>Learn blocks, accounts, and transactions without using a public network.</td><td><a href="/developers/how-to-request-xl1-testnet-tokens-1.md">Run a Local Blockchain &amp; Block Producer</a></td></tr><tr><td>Sequence</td><td><strong>Explore the public testnet</strong></td><td>Fund a test account, submit test activity, and inspect finalized results.</td><td><a href="/developers/how-to-request-xl1-testnet-tokens.md">Request XL1 Testnet Tokens</a></td></tr><tr><td>AI-assisted</td><td><strong>Build a sample dApp</strong></td><td>Use the XYO skill stack to generate and test a Sequence application.</td><td><a href="/ai-sdk/xyo-ai-sdk-quick-start.md">XYO AI SDK - Quick Start</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="success" %}
A good first milestone is one verified transaction—not a complete production application. Confirm the payload, signer, network, transaction, and finalized result before adding more features.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xyo.network/developers/getting-started/first-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
