AI tools stop working when you leave your desk. Dispatch doesn't.
It's a feature inside Claude Cowork. Assign tasks from your phone. Claude executes on your desktop. Come back to finished work.
What it does:
📱 Message Claude from your phone
🖥 Claude accesses your files, browser, local tools
🔒 Sandboxed. Local. You approve before it acts
📋 Returns reports, tasks, actual output
Use cases:
Reports from internal dashboards
Finding better flights
Anything Claude can do on your desktop, from anywhere
Good to know:
Desktop must be on. Max subscribers now. Pro in days. Research preview, more coming soon.
Try it. What's the first task you'd dispatch?

@rohanrecommends Smart move making approval the default. That's the part most agent tools skip. Do you see a preview of what Claude is about to do before you approve, or just the result after?
Is this similar to the /remote-control feature inside claude code?
@tteer it does not work always
@tteer yes, basically Dispatch = Cowork's mobile interface for what started as Claude Code remote control. Been using remote CLI for a while now, being able to kick off tasks from phone and come back to results is a real workflow change. Cowork added browser automation on top which is nice for non-code tasks too.

This is a much-needed development. I appreciate OpenClaw's impact on the industry, particularly its most impressive feature: remote control. Now, features like Claude Code's remote control and Claude Dispatch are bringing this same remote capability to autonomous systems.
I believe the logical next step will be integrating these tools into messaging applications like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. We can already see this potential today, as collaborating with Devin on coding tasks directly within Slack is extremely convenient and time-saving.
Love the ‘desktop as an engine’ approach. There’s always that 10-minute gap between leaving the office and getting home where a random task pops into my head :)
Just love anything anthropic/claude related. Claude itself has done so much more then chatgpt ever could.
Congrats on launching! Texting Claude a task while you're out and coming back to finished work is exactly how AI should fit into out days. Does it maintain context across multiple dispatches or does each message start fresh?
This has been something I've been waiting for! For those quick tasks you want to schedule on the go..
This is like remote controller for AI

love it. congrats guys.
The "AI stops working when you leave your desk" framing is exactly right — that's the gap nobody had named cleanly until now.
The approval before it acts detail is what makes this feel safe enough to actually use. Full autonomy is too scary, zero autonomy is useless — the human in the loop at the right moment is the right call.
Curious about the persistent conversation piece — does context carry over between phone sessions or does each new message start fresh? That continuity seems like the thing that would make it genuinely powerful vs just a novelty.
As someone building Zeno Finance I'm constantly thinking about what tasks I'd delegate to something like this. Generating monthly financial summaries from my own data while I'm away from my desk would be the first thing I'd try. Congrats on the launch.
