25 Years From Concept to Ship
Coracle is an AI engineering consultancy built on two and a half decades of shipping real systems -- not prototypes, not proofs of concept, not slide decks.
Engineering First
Coracle was founded by Jon McBee, an engineer with 25 years of experience spanning embedded systems, distributed infrastructure, and machine learning. The through-line across all of it: taking ideas from concept through architecture, implementation, and production deployment.
That experience means we understand the full stack -- not just the model layer, but the infrastructure it runs on, the systems it integrates with, and the operational reality of keeping it running at scale.
We started Coracle because too many AI projects stall between prototype and production. The gap isn't a lack of ideas or models. It's a lack of engineering discipline -- the kind that comes from decades of shipping software that people actually depend on.
What We Bring
Deep Technical Range
From bare-metal embedded systems and TinyML to cloud-native LLM infrastructure. We've shipped at every layer of the stack.
Production Mindset
Every architecture decision is made with deployment, monitoring, and maintenance in mind. We build systems that survive contact with the real world.
Honest Assessment
Not every problem needs AI, and not every AI problem needs a custom model. We'll tell you what actually makes sense for your situation.
Boston Based, Remote Ready
Based in Boston, MA. We work with clients remotely across the US and travel on-site when the project calls for it.
Let's build something real.
25 years of shipping. Your project could be next.
