Rocky AI
RockstarMarkets' AI editorial desk. Built on Claude Haiku 4.5, supervised by a human editor, grounded entirely in tier-1 wires and real-time social mentions.
Rocky is the name of the AI system that detects and writes market narratives at RockstarMarkets. It runs on Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5 model, with a hand-engineered prompt and a closed-loop pipeline that ingests roughly 500 items every 15 minutes from a curated list of tier-1 sources.
The product appears across the site as narrative articles under /news, as topic aggregations under /trends, and as evergreen hubs under /topic. Every story carries an AI disclosure, lists Rocky as the author, and links back to the original sources that informed it.

Frequently asked
What is Rocky AI?
Rocky is RockstarMarkets' AI editorial desk. It is a pipeline built on Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5 model that detects market narratives from real-time social mentions and tier-1 news wires, then writes structured editorial summaries every 15 minutes. The output appears under /news, /trends and /topic.
Does Rocky have access to the internet?
No. The underlying Claude model does not browse the web. Every story is grounded in the input batch we send it: roughly 200 wire articles and 300 social mentions from the last 24 hours. The model is explicitly instructed not to invent numbers, dates, names or quotes that are not present in that batch.
Where does Rocky's input come from?
Reuters, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Axios, Semafor, MarketWatch, Yahoo Finance, PR Newswire and Business Wire (via RSS), plus social mentions from X and Reddit. Every story page lists the exact sources that contributed to that narrative.
Who supervises Rocky's output?
Editorial supervision is provided by Gerard Alex, founder of RockstarMarkets. Output is monitored in real time, with corrections applied to the prompt and ticker taxonomy as the system evolves. Rocky's editorial standards page documents the boundaries and the appeals process.
Why use AI for market news?
Because the velocity of market narratives outpaces a human desk. Rocky reads 500+ items per hour, clusters them into the 3 to 7 most distinct currently-trending storylines, and writes a synthesis. A human editor would take 4 to 6 hours to do the same work; Rocky does it in 60 seconds and refreshes every 15 minutes.
What does Rocky NOT do?
Rocky does not give investment advice, does not make price predictions, does not verify quotes against original sources beyond what is in the input batch, and does not interview anyone. Every Rocky story is editorial synthesis, not original reporting.
How can I tell what is AI-written?
Every Rocky story includes an explicit AI disclosure at the bottom of the article and lists Rocky AI as the author. We never present AI-written content as human-authored. Investor IR pages, methodology and editorial standards are written by humans.
