AI development for Winnipeg teams, on your working day
Magic Ship is an AI development agency in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have no office in Winnipeg 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
Winnipeg 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.
That is enough overlap to work the way a colocated team does. Pull requests get reviewed the hour they land, a design question gets settled on a call instead of in a thread, and an incident at your end finds somebody awake at ours.
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 Winnipeg buyers usually bring us
The record for Winnipeg lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
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.
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
insurance
Policy wordings, endorsements and claims files need clause-level retrieval with the version and jurisdiction pinned, or the answer is guesswork with a citation.
The golden-question set is the deliverable nobody thinks to ask for, and it is the only way to show that a change helped.
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, Winnipeg 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.
