Dispatch phone-to-desktop tasks
Claude Cowork: A Fortune editor used Claude Dispatch, a Cowork feature linking phone to desktop, for a month to pull files, triage email, and prep meetings.
From their phone, the author found lost desktop files, got key emails summarized, and ran Notion and spreadsheet tasks, cutting inbox clutter.
Overview
How it was set up
Claude Dispatch inside Claude Cowork, with the Claude mobile and desktop apps, a Max plan, and Slack, Notion and Chrome connected. The desktop must stay awake.
Worth knowing
Needs the $200 a month Max plan and an awake desktop with Claude open. Broad file-moving prompts are risky, so keep them constrained.
A prompt to start from
For my [time] meeting, find the latest [document], summarize the last email thread, list open questions, and draft three bullets I should raise.
