The brokerage will integrate autonomous software from OpenAI and Anthropic that can build investment strategies and execute trades while users are offline. These new AI agents will be available to the platform's 29 million customers to automate market research, a move introduced at the HOOD Summit 2026. Other new offerings include perpetual futures for U.S. customers, 4x intraday margin, and the ability to trade corporate earnings outcomes through Cboe prediction markets.

These tools expand the broker's push to bring professional-grade trading capabilities to retail investors, following the announcement of 24/7 stock trading for select assets and a 33% increase in options hours. Additional updates include "Loops" for repeating AI strategies and the broad rollout of Robinhood Social. While the firm frames the moves as democratizing hedge fund tools, some market observers have warned that continuous trading is turning public markets into a casino.
