Robinhood Now Lets Your AI Agents Trade Stocks

Robinhood is launching support for AI agentic trading and a new agentic credit card. Users on the platform can create separate accounts for their AI agents and connect them to dedicated wallets. Agents analyze user portfolios to suggest investments but can only place orders using pre-loaded balances. Users receive notifications of all trades and monitor activities in the app. Some trades require user approval through previews shown by the agents. Robinhood has implemented fraud detection where a team reviews suspicious trades and helps resolve disputes. Users can connect agents to the Model Context Protocol service for tasks including risk analysis, trade execution, and reviewing analyst notes. The trading feature launches in beta and supports only stock trading at present. The company plans to add options, crypto, event contracts, futures, and prediction markets. Robinhood is also debuting a virtual credit card for AI agents to make payments through its banking MCP server. The card is available to Robinhood Gold Card holders. Users set monthly limits and decide if agents need approval for payments. The company acquired Pluto in 2024 and added an AI assistant last year. Other companies including Stripe, Amazon, Google, and Prava Pay are building products that enable AI agents to make payments on behalf of users.
