Robinhood announced today that users can now connect AI agents to the platform to autonomously trade stocks on their behalf.
Users create a separate "agentic trading account," load it with funds, and connect their own AI agent via Robinhood's Model Context Protocol (MCP) service. The agent can analyze portfolios, assess concentration risk, review analyst notes, and execute trades.
Users receive notifications on every trade and can pause autonomous trading at any time. Some trades require manual approval before execution. Robinhood says it has built in fraud detection to review suspicious activity.
The feature launches in beta for equities only. Options, crypto, event contracts, futures, and prediction markets are planned for later releases.
Robinhood is also launching a virtual credit card that lets AI agents make purchases on users' behalf, available to Gold Card holders with configurable spending limits.
"Our mission has always been to democratize finance for all, and now, that mission extends to AI agents," CEO Vlad Tenev said.
