Robinhood will let AI trade stocks and buy stuff for you
There's a new way to make a fortune, lose it all or end up somewhere in between — and it can happen while you're sleeping.
TL;DR
- Robinhood is launching "agentic trading" and an "agentic credit card" that allow AI to make trades and purchases on behalf of users.
- Users can bring AI agents from any platform and plug them into Robinhood via its Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
- Agentic trading is currently available for stocks, with plans to expand to options, crypto, and more.
- The agentic credit card, tied to the Robinhood Gold Card, will scan for the best prices, monitor availability, and make purchases automatically.
- Robinhood acknowledges the risk of losing the entire investment but states it is implementing safety controls and user override options.
