Need help trading? Robinhood unveils AI agents for automated trading

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) is expanding the use of artificial intelligence in retail investing, allowing customers to build agents that can analyze markets, develop strategies, and execute trades on their behalf.

The brokerage unveiled its “Robinhood Agents” at its HOOD Summit on Tuesday, saying users will be able to create an agent without technical setup and establish “Loops” that allow it to monitor markets and run strategies continuously.

The agents will operate through dedicated Robinhood accounts, with users able to set trading limits and require approval before transactions are executed.

Robinhood said its agents can currently place long equity, options, and cryptocurrency orders.

The move follows Robinhood’s May launch of tools allowing third-party AI agents to connect to its platform through the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. The company is now moving toward making agentic trading accessible directly within its app.

The launch comes as Robinhood also expands into weekend stock trading, perpetual futures, and other products aimed at active traders.
