Robinhood will let your AI agent trade stocks and make (or lose) lots of money

Robinhood is opening its trading platform to AI agents. In an announcement on Wednesday, Robinhood says traders can now create a separate account for an AI agent and add a specific amount of money, allowing the agent to buy and sell stocks across the market.

The company pitches the feature as a way for traders to automate investment decisions, such as having an agent monitor specific industries and make trades, or rebalancing an existing portfolio.
