Robinhood launches built-in AI trading agent: Automated execution is closer to ordinary users

Robinhood is launching an AI trading agent function within its app, which can study markets, build strategies, and execute transactions, making automated execution closer to ordinary stock and cryptocurrency users.

Key data and functional highlights

  • User size: According to Robinhood, since May this year, more than 150,000 customers have opened agent trading accounts.
  • Frequency of usage: Currently, connected agents use the Robinhood tool nearly 30 million times a day.
  • Continuous Order Function: Customers can choose to retain the manual transaction approval function. The upcoming "Loops" feature will allow agents to repeatedly execute preset instructions 24/7.

Deployment and operating models for AI agents

Robinhood demonstrated this extended system at the HOOD Summit, integrating agent creation capabilities directly into its applications, while the original version required users to connect to external AI tools. Customers can choose models from providers including OpenAI, fund dedicated agent accounts, and set restrictions for agents to follow.

The agent can study markets, build watch lists, and trade stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies. According to Robinhood, the transaction approval function is turned on by default, but customers can disable the function, allowing orders to be executed without confirmation. This choice makes the system more autonomous.

In addition, the broker has also launched cryptocurrency perpetual contracts for eligible U.S. customers, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) contracts providing up to 10 times leverage support. Other backed cryptocurrency assets have lower initial leverage multiples.

Defining risks and responsibilities for automated transactions

Robinhood's product executives said that even if automated execution is enabled, users should still supervise the technology because agents act within the instructions and settings chosen by the customer.

Gina Pasqua-Abeles, senior director of product management, said Robinhood expects users to maintain "some degree of supervision" of their agents. Robinhood pointed out that customers bear the risk of transactions executed by AI agents. The company also emphasized that it does not control, supervise, monitor, recommend or audit external agents. This distinction becomes particularly important when users disable approval. Therefore, although automated execution removes the confirmation step, it does not relieve investors of their responsibilities for the transaction.

Robinhood first opened its trading infrastructure to third-party AI brokers on May 27, when it launched a beta version of proxy trading as a stock-only format. At the time, the company listed products such as cryptocurrencies, options, event contracts and futures, and it is expected that these products will follow up as the system leaves the initial beta stage.
