Anthropic has rolled out 'Dispatch,' a new feature for Claude's Mac app that lets you control your desktop AI agent from your iPhone.
The Story
It's pitched as a remote control for your Mac's Claude ‘Cowork’ session.
Why It Matters
For your law firm, accountancy, or consultancy, this means very little right now. This "research preview" is slow, unreliable, and mostly effective at *finding* and *summarizing* information on your Mac—not acting on it or integrating with other apps reliably. It's far from a productivity tool you can depend on.
What To Do About It
My advice? Ignore this for now. You need reliable, secure tools that work 100% of the time for client work, not a 50/50 gamble. Keep your focus on implementing AI in structured, secure ways that deliver measurable value today, not on experimental mobile integrations.
