The "approve before it acts" approach is key. I've been building with Claude Code for months and the trust model is what makes it actually usable — knowing you can review before anything runs.

One thing I'd love to see is persistent context between dispatch sessions. Right now the biggest friction with AI tools is re-explaining context every time you start a new session. If Dispatch could remember what you were working on yesterday, that'd be a huge unlock.

The "AI stops working when you leave your desk" framing is exactly right — that's the gap nobody had named cleanly until now.

The approval before it acts detail is what makes this feel safe enough to actually use. Full autonomy is too scary, zero autonomy is useless — the human in the loop at the right moment is the right call.

Curious about the persistent conversation piece — does context carry over between phone sessions or does each new message start fresh? That continuity seems like the thing that would make it genuinely powerful vs just a novelty.

As someone building Zeno Finance I'm constantly thinking about what tasks I'd delegate to something like this. Generating monthly financial summaries from my own data while I'm away from my desk would be the first thing I'd try. Congrats on the launch.

Congrats Team!!!

Love this direction. Most “remote control” AI flows still feel like toys; this is basically a reliable way to queue serious work against your real environment while you’re away. The desktop‑first, sandboxed approach seems much saner than a sprawling cloud automation marketplace.​​

One question from a builder’s perspective: do you see an eventual API or hooks so other tools can trigger Dispatch jobs programmatically (e.g., from a CI event or calendar trigger), or is the vision for now to keep it human‑in‑the‑loop via chat only?

This is a much-needed development. I appreciate OpenClaw's impact on the industry, particularly its most impressive feature: remote control. Now, features like Claude Code's remote control and Claude Dispatch are bringing this same remote capability to autonomous systems.

I believe the logical next step will be integrating these tools into messaging applications like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. We can already see this potential today, as collaborating with Devin on coding tasks directly within Slack is extremely convenient and time-saving.

Congrats on launching! Texting Claude a task while you're out and coming back to finished work is exactly how AI should fit into out days. Does it maintain context across multiple dispatches or does each message start fresh?

This has been something I've been waiting for! For those quick tasks you want to schedule on the go..

Just love anything anthropic/claude related. Claude itself has done so much more then chatgpt ever could.

Love the ‘desktop as an engine’ approach. There’s always that 10-minute gap between leaving the office and getting home where a random task pops into my head :)

this is a cool idea honestly. being able to kick off something from your phone and have it run on your desktop makes a lot of sense, specially for those random moments when you’re away but still wanna get something done.

curious, what are people using it for first mostly, quick research tasks or proper work stuff like reports?
