Starting to try Cowork Mobile on Claude so I can better understand where it fits.
The main difference between dispatch seems to be that it can initiate tasks server side, and can then bridge them to your local machine when local machine is awake. I ran a prompt on Cowork Mobile with my machine awake, and was able to watch it fire on my MacBook despite initiating on phone.
It’s still clunky though and feels incomplete. For example, you can setup automations via phone, but there’s no interface to view automations on mobile. Anything you setup on Cowork Mobile appears in the “scheduled” tab on your desktop app, but no way to interface with them on mobile. It also seems that a daily task you’ve setup on mobile won’t actually show up on your mobile app. The only way is to have the delivery method set to email. This feels weird.
