Robinhood introduced Robinhood Agents at its 2026 HOOD Summit, adding an in-app AI agent product that can analyze markets, build strategies, and place trades on behalf of clients. The company said the feature will roll out soon to eligible U.S. customers and will let users connect AI models to dedicated agent trading accounts. Trade approval is turned on by default, though clients can disable it entirely to allow fully automated trading.
Alongside the AI announcement, Robinhood said it plans to launch cryptocurrency perpetual futures and extend trading hours for some U.S. stocks. CEO Vlad Tenev said the move is intended to make it easier for customers to incorporate AI into their trading strategies. According to BeInCrypto, Robinhood has allowed external AI agents to connect to its platform for trading through the Model Context Protocol since May 27 this year.
