Buenos Aires, Argentina
AI development for Buenos Aires teams, inside your afternoon
Magic Ship is an AI development agency in Vancouver, British Columbia. Between here and Buenos Aires there are 3 shared working hours a day. The engagement is designed against that number rather than against an assumption that everyone is online together.

What fits in a 3-hour window
The overlap is real and it is bounded. Buenos Aires sits 5 hours ahead of Vancouver, so the shared part of the day runs 09:00 to 12:00 our time and 14:00 to 17:00 yours.
Use it for decisions, not status. Status is a document you can read at your own hour; a decision is the thing worth spending a live hour on, and there are only a few of those a week.
What moves to writing is not a downgrade. A daily handoff note at the end of the Vancouver day, decisions logged when they are made, and review on the pull request itself means your morning starts with the answer rather than with a meeting invitation.
What Buenos Aires buyers usually bring us
The record for Buenos Aires lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
software outsourcing
Delivery quality is the product, so training runs on client repos with the review standard fixed in advance and the failure modes written down.
We name the things that reliably do not work, so nobody on the team has to rediscover them one at a time.
Closest service line: Training and enablement
agribusiness
Contracts, weather and yield sit in three systems that never met. An agent with typed tools against all three beats a chat box with access to none.
The eval harness gets built beside the first feature, so week three can prove that week two did not quietly make the output worse.
Closest service line: AI products, built end to end
Contracts, currency and where the data sits
Invoices are in US dollars. Currency controls make payment mechanics worth settling before the work starts rather than after the first invoice.
The commercial part stays deliberately boring. Fixed acceptance criteria per increment, weekly shipping, and a written record of every decision. Nothing about working from Vancouver instead of Buenos Aires changes what you are buying.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Buenos Aires included. Most engagements are one of them, sometimes two.
- AI products, built end to end
- Knowledge bases and retrieval
- Codebase and team optimization
- Training and enablement
- Forward-deployed engineering
The languages, models and infrastructure underneath all five are listed on the Magic Ship stack page, with what each one is good for and where it is the wrong choice.
