Claude Dispatch & Remote Workflows

Your Mac, In Your Pocket

You’re standing in line at a coffee shop. Your phone buzzes — a teammate just pushed a PR that needs review before the 2 PM deadline. You’re 30 minutes from your desk.

Before Dispatch, you’d either scramble to find a laptop or tell your team to wait. Now? You pull out your phone, tell Claude to review the PR on your Mac, and get a summary with specific feedback in under a minute. You approve it from the checkout line.

That’s Dispatch. It turns your phone into a remote control for Claude Cowork running on your Mac. Not a watered-down mobile app. Not a cloud proxy. Your actual Mac, doing real work, controlled from anywhere.

What You’ll Learn

This course takes you from zero to productive with Dispatch:

• Set up and pair your phone with your Mac in minutes
• Understand the boundaries of what Dispatch can and can’t do (this matters more than you think)
• Build real workflows for development, content creation, and business tasks
• Trust the security model — and know exactly how your data is protected
• Troubleshoot failures with practical fixes (Dispatch is early-stage, and honesty matters)
• Design your own mobile workflow customized to your actual job

Course Overview

Lesson 1: What Is Dispatch?

How Dispatch works, what makes it different from other mobile AI tools, and who should use it right now.

Lesson 2: Setting Up Dispatch

Prerequisites, QR code pairing, your first remote task, and making sure everything works before you leave your desk.

Lesson 3: Understanding Remote Contexts

What Dispatch can access on your Mac, what it can’t, approval gates for destructive actions, and connector compatibility.

Lesson 4: Real Workflows — Code & Dev

Trigger builds, review PRs, search codebases, check logs, and debug — all from your phone.

Lesson 5: Real Workflows — Content & Business

Draft documents, analyze spreadsheets, summarize reports, manage files, and handle business tasks remotely.

Lesson 6: Security & Privacy Deep Dive

End-to-end encryption, the relay server model, approval gates, and why Dispatch is more private than most cloud AI tools.

Lesson 7: Troubleshooting & Best Practices

When Dispatch fails (and it will — roughly 50% of the time for complex tasks), here’s how to diagnose and fix it.

Lesson 8: Capstone — Build Your Mobile Workflow

Design a complete remote workflow for your actual job, test it, and document it for daily use.

Who This Course Is For

This course is built for:

• Developers who want to review code, trigger builds, or check logs without opening a laptop
• Content creators who get ideas on the go and want to start drafting immediately
• Business professionals who travel and need to access files and reports from their phone
• Power users of Claude Cowork who want to extend their workflows to mobile
• Anyone with a Mac and a phone who thinks “I wish I could do that from here”

You should already be comfortable with Claude Cowork basics. If you’re brand new to Cowork, take the Cowork Essentials course first.

A Note on Honesty

Dispatch launched in March 2026 as a research preview. It’s genuinely impressive for certain tasks and genuinely unreliable for others. This course won’t pretend otherwise.

We’ll tell you exactly what works, what doesn’t, and how to maximize your success rate. That honesty is more useful than hype.

Time Investment

8 lessons, about 10-15 minutes each. You can finish the whole course in a single sitting or spread it across a few days.

By the end, you’ll have a working mobile workflow and the knowledge to use Dispatch effectively — including knowing when not to use it.
