Robinhood will let your AI agent trade stocks and make (or lose) lots of money

Robinhood has introduced a new platform feature that enables users to connect AI agents to their trading accounts to automate stock market investments. Users can designate specific funds for these agents, which operate via the Model Context Protocol to monitor markets and execute trades. While the company highlights automation as a primary benefit, it warns that agentic trading carries significant risks, including the potential for total financial loss. Additionally, Robinhood is extending AI agent capabilities to its Gold Card, allowing agents to shop online for products based on user-defined criteria. Users maintain oversight through real-time notifications and the ability to pause or manually approve agent actions.
