• Robinhood Agents launches in-app: AI trading tool lets users name an agent, pick a model, and choose trade-approval settings in 60 seconds; over 100,000 customers have onboarded since the earlier MCP version, now expanded to options and crypto.
• Agents kept in separate, cabined accounts: Users must affirmatively move money from bank or other Robinhood accounts into the agentic account, which can't access retirement or main holdings, to build trust gradually.
