Anthropic announces Dispatch. Control your Claude cowork from your mobile device.
New mobile app turns Claude into a hands-free AI assistant for on-the-go tasks.
Anthropic has officially launched Dispatch, a dedicated mobile application designed to bring its Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI assistant directly to users' smartphones. The app transforms Claude from a desktop chatbot into a hands-free, voice-activated mobile companion. Key features include seamless voice interaction, allowing users to speak naturally to Claude and receive spoken responses, and a screen-sharing capability that lets Claude analyze anything visible on the user's phone screen, from documents and images to app interfaces.
This mobile pivot significantly expands Claude's utility for real-world, on-the-go tasks. Professionals can now use Dispatch to get instant summaries of long emails or reports, analyze data in a spreadsheet, brainstorm ideas aloud during a commute, or get help drafting messages—all without typing. The app represents a strategic move by Anthropic to compete in the personal AI assistant space, directly challenging other voice and mobile-first AI experiences by leveraging Claude's strong reasoning and conversational abilities in a more accessible, mobile-native format.
