Claude Now Works While You're Away

Picture this. You're standing in line for coffee, you think of something that needs doing, and instead of adding it to the pile, you just text it off. Then you forget about it. And it gets done.

That's Dispatch, and it's quietly one of the best things in Cowork.

Text a task, get back results

Claude Cowork's Dispatch feature lets you fire off a task from your phone. You text what you need. Claude does it on your desktop. You come back to finished work.

No terminal. No fiddly setup. No "let me get to my laptop first." Just a message out and a result waiting when you sit down.

The best assistant is the one you can use without stopping what you're doing.

Why phone-to-desktop is the magic

Your best ideas and most annoying to-dos never show up when you're conveniently parked at your computer. They hit you walking the dog, in the elevator, mid-errand. The exact moments you can't act on them.

Dispatch closes that gap. The task leaves your head the second you have it, goes to Claude, and runs on your desktop in the background while you keep living your life. (No more arriving at your laptop with a head full of things you forgot on the way there.)

It turns dead time into productive time without making you do anything except send a text. That's leverage you can use one-handed.

Next time a task hits you away from your desk, don't write it down. Dispatch it and let it be done before you're back.
