Robinhood built AI agents that trade for customers. 150,000 opened agent accounts since May.
Robinhood unveiled Robinhood Agents at its summit in Houston this week.
The built-in AI can analyse markets before building a strategy and placing trades on a customer's behalf, at any hour.
It extends a feature launched in May that let customers connect outside AI agents to their accounts. Robinhood says over 150,000 customers have opened such accounts. Their agents use Robinhood's tools almost 30 million times a day.
Weekend trading in US shares is planned for early 2027, pending regulatory review.
"We're making Robinhood the best place in the world for active traders by delivering tools once reserved for hedge funds, big banks, and quant firms," chief executive Vlad Tenev said. Bloomberg reported Tenev saying the new agent apps are safe.
When an agent's trade goes wrong at 3am, who answers to the customer?
