### Pick your First Bite (Exercise)

Being "Pybites" we refer to our exercises "Bites".

Your next step is to pick your first Bite and get coding!

If you're completely new to Python, click the *Exercises* drop down menu and select the [*Newbie Bites*](https://pybitesplatform.com/bites/newbie/)*.*

Experienced developers should select the [*Intro Bites*](https://pybitesplatform.com/bites/intro/) or the [*Regular Bites*](https://pybitesplatform.com/bites/regular/)*.*

{% hint style="info" %}
You can learn more about the different kinds of Bites in this article: [Exercises Overview](/platform-basics/exercises-overview.md).
{% endhint %}

Click the Name of the Bite you'd like to attempt.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Newbie Bites are intended to be completed in order. We highly recommend users new to Python start with *Newbie Bite 1 - Assigning objects* and continue in sequential order from there.
{% endhint %}

You'll be taken to the Bite's page where you'll see the instructions on the left, and the coding editor on the right.

It's now time to solve your first Bite. Check out the [Solving a Bite Exercise](/getting-started/solving-a-bite.md) article to get started.

# 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.pybitesplatform.com/getting-started/quickstart.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.
