Robinhood (NASDAQ: $HOOD) is opening its platform to AI agents, giving customers a regulated path to let software trade and spend on their behalf as agentic finance moves toward brokerage apps.
The company said Wednesday that it is launching Agentic Trading and the Agentic Credit Card, two products built around Robinhood’s AI-native Model Context Protocol servers. The setup lets customers connect their own agents to Robinhood instead of relying on unofficial APIs or workarounds.
Agentic Trading will launch in beta with equities first. Customers can open a dedicated agentic trading account separate from the rest of their portfolio, fund it with capital they want an agent to access, and monitor activity through push notifications, a real-time feed and profit-and-loss tracking inside the app.

Robinhood said support for options, crypto, event contracts and futures will come later as the product moves beyond beta. The roadmap places the launch in a market-structure debate as brokers, exchanges and fintech platforms test how much autonomy retail users are willing to hand AI systems.
The Agentic Credit Card applies the same idea to spending. Existing Robinhood Gold Card customers can connect an agent to a dedicated virtual card, set a spending limit and choose whether purchases require manual approval. Robinhood said agents will not have access to a customer’s primary card number or other account information.
CEO Vlad Tenev said Robinhood’s mission to democratize finance “now extends to AI agents,” framing the launch as a controlled way to bring autonomous tools into investing and payments.
The safeguards are central to the product. Robinhood said users can disconnect agents at any time, preview trades, view spending history, set monthly limits and rely on fraud-review tools when activity looks wrong.
For Robinhood, the launch turns AI from a front-end assistant into a transaction layer, with trading, payments and eventually crypto sitting inside the same agent-ready system.
Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) is trading at $74.08 U.S. per share.
