Robinhood lets AI agents trade stocks on your behalf!

Robinhood has launched Agentic Trading and an Agentic Credit Card, allowing retail investors to connect third-party AI agents directly to their accounts to automate portfolio management, execute stock trades, and even complete purchases via virtual credit cards. HOOD shares climbed 1.5% to $75.20 on Wednesday following the announcement.

The tools let users define strategies and conditions — an investor wanting AI-sector exposure, for example, can instruct an agent to build and maintain a focused portfolio automatically, or set rules to buy oversold stocks without lifting a finger. AI agents can monitor markets, rebalance holdings, and act on triggers around the clock.

Robinhood has built in several guardrails: agents operate through separate, limited-fund accounts, users receive real-time trade notifications, and a one-tap shutoff is available at any time.
