AI development for Newcastle upon Tyne teams, handed over in writing
We build AI products from Vancouver, British Columbia, and we work with Newcastle upon Tyne teams without a single shared working hour. No office there, no staff there. What replaces the shared day is a written handoff, decisions logged as they are made, and review that happens on your morning rather than in a call.

No shared working day, so the loop is written
Newcastle upon Tyne is 8 hours ahead of Vancouver. When we start at 09:00 it is 17:00 on the same day for you, and when we stop at 17:00 it is 01:00 on the next day. On the same calendar date there is no hour where both sides are at work.
That is not an apology. A loop that turns once every twenty-four hours, in writing, is a faster way to build software than a calendar full of half-attended calls, and it forces the decisions into a form somebody can read six months later.
- A handoff note goes out at the end of every Vancouver working day: what shipped, what broke, and what needs a decision from you.
- You read it at 01:00, or whenever your day starts, and review the pull requests it points at.
- Decisions are logged as they are made, in the repository, so neither side has to reconstruct why something was done.
- A blocking question arrives with a proposed answer attached, so the default outcome is progress rather than a stalled day.
One live call a week, and it is scheduled honestly: 09:00 in Vancouver is 17:00 in Newcastle upon Tyne. Neither side takes a bad hour for that one. The call simply lands on two different calendar dates, which is a scheduling detail rather than a hardship.
What Newcastle upon Tyne buyers usually bring us
The record for Newcastle upon Tyne lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
business software
A long-lived product repo needs path-scoped instruction files and checks an agent can run itself before AI-assisted work produces anything worth merging.
Feedback speed is the lever nobody wants to pull. If the suite takes twenty minutes, no agent workflow survives contact with it.
Closest service line: Codebase and team optimization
offshore energy
Well files, inspection reports and vendor documentation run to millions of pages, and the retrieval design has to pin an answer to a well and a date.
Hybrid search beats embeddings alone in nearly every corpus we have opened, and metadata filters behave as hard constraints or they are not filters.
Closest service line: Knowledge bases and retrieval
Contracts, currency and where the data sits
Invoices are in pounds or US dollars, whichever your accounts payable prefers. UK GDPR applies to whatever we index, so storage region and log retention are agreed in writing before ingestion starts.
Everything else is the same as it would be for a client down the street from us: scope, a thin slice in week one, then weekly increments you can stop at any time. The distance changes the schedule, not the contract.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
