How Robinhood makes expertise more accessible with Gemini

Featured in this video: Mike Meakin, Director of Engineering, Robinhood Markets Executive summary: Robinhood is a financial technology company focused on democratizing finance by giving more people access to markets and financial tools. Operating in a highly regulated environment, Robinhood relies on Google Workspace as a core foundation for real-time collaboration, secure data governance, and auditability across the organization. Tools like Docs, Sheets, and Drive are deeply embedded in how teams work, enabling fast, transparent collaboration while maintaining strict compliance standards. Building on this foundation, Robinhood has adopted Gemini to accelerate productivity and decision-making across engineering, operations, and support teams. Gemini enables employees to access and apply domain expertise more easily—whether it’s helping engineering managers analyze project ROI in Sheets without advanced technical skills or powering AI-assisted tools for customer support. These tools are also transforming how Robinhood makes critical risk decisions, compressing what was once a long, research-heavy process into a faster, more informed workflow. By automating repetitive support inquiries and surfacing insights more quickly, Gemini is freeing teams to focus on complex challenges, increasing the overall velocity of the business. Challenge: Robinhood operates in a fast-moving, highly regulated financial environment where teams must balance speed, accuracy, and compliance. Critical processes, such as risk evaluation, support operations, and project analysis, required extensive manual effort and deep domain expertise, slowing decision-making and limiting the ability to scale efficiently. Solution: Robinhood leveraged Google Workspace as a secure, collaborative platform with built-in governance, auditability, and real-time collaboration. The company then integrated Gemini to make advanced capabilities accessible to all employees. Gemini supports tasks like project analysis in Sheets, knowledge retrieval for support teams, and large-scale research for risk decision-making. AI agents now handle common support inquiries, while teams use Gemini to quickly synthesize information and generate insights without needing specialized technical skills. Results: With Google Workspace with Gemini, Robinhood has significantly increased operational speed and business velocity. AI-powered tools now handle a large portion of repetitive support inquiries, freeing engineers to focus on more complex and impactful problems. Leaders can reach critical risk decisions faster by compressing extensive research and analysis into streamlined workflows. By making domain expertise more accessible and embedding AI into everyday tools, Robinhood has improved productivity across teams while maintaining the security and compliance required in financial services—enabling the company to move faster, make better decisions, and deliver more value to customers.
