AI development for Wichita teams, on your working day
Magic Ship is an AI development agency in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have no office in Wichita and nobody on the ground there. What we do have is 6 hours of your working day, every working day, which is enough to review, pair and fix things while you are still at your desk.

6 hours of your day, every working day
Wichita runs 2 hours ahead of Vancouver. On a normal working day the two calendars overlap from 09:00 to 15:00 Vancouver time, which is 11:00 to 17:00 where you are.
Practically, it means your team can treat us as another desk in the building for most of the day: same standup, same review queue, same afternoon scramble when something breaks.
The parts that still get written down are written down anyway: acceptance criteria, the decision log, and what changed in each weekly increment. A shared clock is not an excuse for an undocumented project.
What Wichita buyers usually bring us
The record for Wichita lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
aircraft manufacturing
Decades-old engineering repos with slow test suites defeat coding agents until the local feedback loop is quick and the conventions are written down.
Small diffs, explicit boundaries and locally runnable checks are what make agent output reviewable instead of merely plausible.
Closest service line: Codebase and team optimization
agriculture
Agronomy notes pile up season by season in spreadsheets and inboxes. Indexed by crop, plot and year they answer questions; left alone they are archaeology.
Answers cite the passage they came from. A retrieval system without span-level citation gets used twice and then quietly abandoned.
Closest service line: Knowledge bases and retrieval
Contracts, currency and where the data sits
Invoices are in US dollars. A US buyer engaging a Canadian company is routine, and the form your accounts team will ask for is a W-8BEN-E, which we have ready before the first invoice.
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, Wichita 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.
