Robinhood says traders can create a separate account for an AI agent and fund it with a chosen amount of money. The agent will then be able to buy and sell stocks across the market. The move pushes AI agents beyond advice or research into direct financial action, with real gains and losses possible.
Robinhood will allow users to create a separate account with a pre-loaded balance that an AI agent can use to trade stocks. The limited description suggests a structure where agent activity is separated from the user’s main funds. The article does not specify supported agents, risk controls, launch timing, confirmation flows, or eligible assets.
