AI development for Windsor teams, inside your afternoon
The shop sits in Vancouver, British Columbia, and works with Windsor teams at a distance. Your day and ours share 5 hours. That is enough for the conversations that need voices, and not enough to run a project on calls, which is fine.

What fits in a 5-hour window
The overlap is real and it is bounded. Windsor sits 3 hours ahead of Vancouver, so the shared part of the day runs 09:00 to 14:00 our time and 12:00 to 17:00 yours.
What we do not do is stretch that window by pretending either side works longer than it does. It is a fixed budget of shared hours a week, and it gets spent on purpose.
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 Windsor buyers usually bring us
The record for Windsor lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
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
cross-border logistics
Customs formats, carrier APIs and broker systems differ per lane. Business rules belong in typed tools with explicit contracts, not in prompt instructions.
Reconciliation and idempotency are designed in at the start, because retrofitting them after the first duplicate transaction is expensive.

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.
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 Windsor work, you get told that in the first reply rather than after a proposal.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Windsor 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.
Other markets in Canada
Same treatment, different clocks, and in some cases a different answer.
Start a project
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.
