Prague, Czechia
AI development for Prague teams, handed over in writing
One shop, Vancouver, British Columbia. Prague sits on the other side of a full day, so nothing about this engagement runs on meetings. It runs on written handoffs, logged decisions and review that happens while the other side is asleep.

No shared working day, so the loop is written
Prague is 9 hours ahead of Vancouver. When we start at 09:00 it is 18:00 on the same day for you, and when we stop at 17:00 it is 02:00 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.
- The Vancouver day ends with a written summary: shipped, broken, blocked, and the one thing we need you to decide.
- That summary is waiting at 02:00 your time, alongside the diffs it refers to.
- The decision log lives in the repository rather than in a chat thread, so it is still readable a year later.
- Anything that would block us gets asked as a proposal you can approve in a sentence, not as an open question.
One live call a week, and it is scheduled honestly: 08:00 in Vancouver is 17:00 in Prague. That hour is outside our working day and inside yours. We take the awkward end of it, because it is our job to be reachable.
What Prague buyers usually bring us
The record for Prague lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
software development
Test generation is the usual first wedge: low risk, easy to measure, and it exposes exactly where the codebase is illegible to an agent.
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
automotive
Supplier portals, warranty systems and dealer software rarely offer a clean API, so integrations either get validated against real traffic or they are decoration.
Business rules become typed tools with explicit contracts, because a rule that lives in a prompt is a rule that drifts.
Closest service line: Forward-deployed engineering
Contracts, currency and where the data sits
Invoices are in euros or US dollars. GDPR makes storage location a design question rather than a footnote, so the index, the logs and the model calls get pinned to European regions where your provider offers them, and that is settled in week one.
Beyond that, the shape of an engagement does not change with distance: a scoping call, a thin end-to-end slice, then weekly increments against acceptance criteria fixed in advance. If we are not the right shop for Prague work, you get told that in the first reply rather than after a proposal.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Prague 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.

Send the problem. If it is a fit, you get scope and a timeline. If it is not, you get told that in the first reply instead of after a discovery process.
