What is Takeoff?

Takeoff aims to be the best place on the internet to learn AI skills.

It's for people who want to be top 1% AI users.

Knowing how to use and build AI tools is the most valuable new skill you can learn. It's as important as knowing how to use a computer and the internet, and those who learn will have a massive advantage.

In 2023 I released a bunch of popular AI lessons called "Takeoff School." The demand for more has been absolutely insane, so I'm finally building it out into a fully-fledged platform.

If you’re serious about using AI to build faster, boost productivity, and automate workflows, then Takeoff is for you.

Who am I?

My name is Mckay Wrigley.

I'm an AI startup founder who's been building AI products for the past 4 years. I was even the 1st person to build a monetized product with the OpenAI API back in 2020.

Before that, I worked as a software engineer after I dropped out of college to learn to code.

I do a lot of instruction for software teams, VCs, and consulting firms to help get them up to speed on AI and teach them how to use AI tools to gain a competitive edge.

Takeoff is my attempt to scale what I teach them so that anyone can learn and apply those tools and skills.

What can you expect?

We're building:

  • Mckay's AI Feed to share my thoughts on the latest AI developments and links I think are interesting.
  • Recorded Courses that teach you AI skills.
  • Live Workshops for hands-on learning.
  • Open Source Tools to give you real tools to use.

Here are our 5 core principles:

  • Prescriptive. We'll always give you concrete, actionable steps to take. All substance, no fluff.
  • Practical. What you learn should always be applicable to your life and business. We optimize for usefulness.
  • Cutting Edge. AI moves fast. When something new comes out, we'll cover it. One foot in the future by default.
  • Open Source. You deserve the best tools. If we build a customer support bot that saves us 10 hours a week, we'll give you the same code to use for your business.
  • Hands-on. You don't learn by watching. You learn by doing. Our content is designed to get you building ASAP.
