Details

Claude Dispatch is a feature within Anthropic's Cowork platform that allows users to assign tasks to the AI assistant Claude from their phones and have the work completed on their desktop computers. This persistent, context-aware feature maintains a continuous thread that syncs across devices, so users don't have to re-explain their project every time they open the app. The setup process is simple, requiring only a Pro or Max Claude plan, the latest desktop and mobile apps, and an internet connection. Once set up, users can type a task on their phone, and their desktop - with Claude Desktop running - will pick up the work, process it using its full arsenal of connectors, plugins, and local files, and write the result back to the shared thread. Dispatch excels at data retrieval, briefing generation, presentation building, and desktop file organization, but has a success rate of around 50% for more complex tasks. The feature's limitations include access permissions and cloud API integrations, but it offers a unique and powerful way to leverage AI-powered productivity across devices.
