Anthropic Ships 'Dispatch': A Persistent Claude Agent That Lives on Your Desktop and Takes Orders From Your Phone

Claude Cowork's new Dispatch feature creates a single, always-running conversation with Claude on your computer — controllable remotely from a phone — blurring the line between assistant and autonomous coworker.

Anthropic quietly released what may be the most ambitious desktop agent feature any lab has shipped to date. As @felixrieseberg announced, Claude Cowork now includes Dispatch: a persistent, always-on conversation with Claude that runs on your computer and can be messaged from your phone. It's available as a research preview inside the Claude Desktop app.
