Rita

The macro research layer for your Discord server.

Website · Add to Discord · Monolith Systematic

Rita is an open-source Discord bot purpose-built for quantitative and macro traders. She brings a conversational research layer directly into your team's server — pulling live data from FRED and Kalshi, classifying the current macro regime via the Lumina backend, and enabling document Q&A on central bank communications.

Built by Monolith Systematic LLC.
