AI development for Fredericton teams, inside your afternoon
Magic Ship is an AI development agency in Vancouver, British Columbia, working remotely with teams in Fredericton. We are not in Fredericton and we will not pretend to be. Your day and ours meet for 4 hours, and the engagement is built around that window rather than around wishing it were longer.

What fits in a 4-hour window
The overlap is real and it is bounded. Fredericton sits 4 hours ahead of Vancouver, so the shared part of the day runs 09:00 to 13:00 our time and 13:00 to 17:00 yours.
The window is best spent where being live actually helps: a design argument, an eval review, a scope cut. Progress reporting is a document, and a document does not need both of us awake.
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 Fredericton buyers usually bring us
The record for Fredericton lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
cybersecurity
Security teams want agent output they can review line by line, which means small diffs, checks the agent runs itself, and rules scoped per path.
Worked examples of good output, in your own code, teach a team more than any document about prompting we could write.
Closest service line: Codebase and team optimization
public administration
Legislation, guidance and internal procedure answer most questions, provided retrieval quotes the passage and shows which version it came from.
Access rules apply inside the index at retrieval time, never as a filter bolted onto the answer after the fact.
Closest service line: Knowledge bases and retrieval
Contracts, currency and where the data sits
This is a domestic engagement. Invoices are in Canadian dollars, the contract is Canadian, and nothing crosses a border on the way to you or on the way back.
Past that, the mechanics are ordinary. A scoping call, a written scope, weekly increments, and an invoice that matches what shipped. The one thing distance changes is when in your day the questions arrive.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Fredericton 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.
