At HOOD Summit 2026 in Houston, Robinhood announced Robinhood Agents, a fully embedded AI experience that can analyze the market, build strategies, and trade on a customer's behalf around the clock.
Since Robinhood launched agentic trading in May for tech-savvy customers connecting their own third-party AI agents, more than 150,000 customers have opened agentic trading accounts, and agents now use Robinhood's tools almost 30 million times a day.
Robinhood Agents lives inside the Robinhood app, where customers name an agent, open a dedicated agentic account, and choose a model from several AI labs including OpenAI, with usage on OpenAI GPT-Luna free until the end of the year.
Agents can only access funds in the dedicated agentic account, and manual approval of each trade defaults to on and can be adjusted at any time.
A forthcoming feature called Loops will let customers turn a strategy into a standing instruction that the agent executes on repeat around the clock, such as a morning market check or a continuous overnight strategy.
New Agent Apps will let customers subscribe to premium data and tools from 11 providers, including Unusual Whales, Nasdaq, SpotGamma, Quiver Quantitative, and Token Terminal, each with a one-month free trial.
Robinhood also announced plans for weekend equities trading pending regulatory review, perpetual futures for eligible U.S. customers, and earnings contracts offered through Cboe.
