Your AI agent can now trade for you on Robinhood. And buy stuff with your credit card too
Source: CNBC
Robinhood unveiled tools on Wednesday that let AI agents trade stocks and make purchases on users’ behalf, marking one of the first attempts to bring autonomous finance technology to ordinary investors rather than institutions.
The new products — Agentic Trading and an Agentic Credit Card — allow customers to connect third-party AI assistants to carry out investing strategies or spending instructions with minimal human involvement. Users can instruct agents to rebalance portfolios, monitor themes such as AI stocks or execute trading strategies automatically.
Separate AI agents can also search for deals and complete purchases using designated virtual credit cards.

The company said the dedicated “agentic trading” accounts are separated from their main portfolios, limiting access to only the capital users specifically allocate. The system also provides notifications whenever trades occur and lets customers immediately disconnect an agent if needed. Initial beta support covers stock trading, with plans to add options, cryptocurrency and futures later.
