Robinhood expanded its AI-powered investment tool to UK customers, giving retail investors access to automated summaries that explain why stocks are moving.

The feature, called Digests by Robinhood Cortex, uses artificial intelligence to scan breaking news, analyst reports, technical data and the company's internal trading information. It then produces plain-English explanations for stock price movements that appear directly on individual stock pages within the app.

Robinhood first introduced Digests to US customers earlier this summer after announcing the tool at a company event in San Francisco. The company claims hundreds of thousands of American users have already tried the feature, with 95% expressing satisfaction in surveys.

Robinhood Brings AI Stock Analysis Tool to UK Investors

UK customers can access Digests at no additional cost when the rollout completes. Robinhood positions Digests as an educational tool rather than investment advice. The summaries aim to help users understand market dynamics and form their own investment opinions before making trades.

"We believe our UK customers, from first-time investors to seasoned traders, will appreciate the timely, accessible summaries that highlight what may be moving a stock," said Jordan Sinclair, President at Robinhood UK.

For Robinhood, this marks another step following the introduction of tokenized stocks in 2025, aimed at reducing the fintech’s reliance on cryptocurrency revenues, which fell by another 36% in the second quarter.

The AI assistant analyzes multiple data streams simultaneously, including news reports, analyst coverage, technical indicators and proprietary trading data from Robinhood's platform. Users can find these summaries by navigating to any supported stock's detail page within the mobile app.

At launch, Digests covers many of the most actively traded stocks on Robinhood's UK platform. The company plans to expand coverage and introduce additional AI-powered features over time.

AI Takes Over the Investment Industry

The tool represents Robinhood's first major AI integration following broader industry trends toward automated investment research. Traditional brokerages and fintech platforms have increasingly adopted AI to help retail investors navigate complex market information.

Examples from recent months are plentiful. In early August, eToro launched its AI assistant, Tori, which answers questions and provides personalized investment insights. Earlier this year, Acuity and cTrader formed a partnership that allows users of the Spotware trading platform to access AI-driven analytical tools directly from their charts.

Recently, Interactive Brokers also joined the trend, introducing an AI tool that covers all S&P 1500 stocks and is available to all clients at no additional cost.
