Claude Cowork Gets Dispatch — Control Your Desktop AI From Phone

Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Apr 25, 2026

Claude Cowork adds Dispatch as a research preview — a persistent Claude conversation that stays active on your desktop after you leave. Message it from your mobile app, give Claude a task — pulling reports from internal dashboards, browsing the web, working through your files — and come back to results. Dispatch runs inside Cowork's sandboxed environment, so files stay on your local machine and Claude asks for approval before acting on anything.

This makes Claude Cowork behave more like a background worker than an interactive assistant. The ability to queue tasks from a phone and return to completed work removes the constraint of sitting at your desktop while Claude runs — a meaningful shift in how agentic AI fits into a workday.

Max subscribers can pair the Claude mobile app with their desktop app to start sending Dispatch tasks remotely.
