#Claude #Cowork Just Got Remote Control (From Your Phone).

Key Takeaways

Hey, as I'm sitting here working, I noticed that there was a new update deployed to the Claude desktop app with dispatch. Dispatch is a remote control for co-work. I think this has the potential to be a game-changer. I've got my iPhone mirrored here and I thought I'd give it a shot to see what we can do. What's interesting is that you have the option to keep your computer awake. So, this will only work if you're currently running Claude and your computer's awake. And then you can also enable browser control, which is very cool. So, what can we do here? Check my personal CRM and email for any updates since 10:00 a.m. So, we can see that the chat is mirrored across devices. Cool. All right, it's accomplished that task. Let's test browser control. Can you test newsletter sign-up on the Viable Edge website? All right, so from my phone, I'm asking it to perform an action on my computer in browser. Let's see what happens. There it goes. All right, let's see if it tests the newsletter. It's asking for permission mobile, which is great. Let's allow for the session. Let's see if I can Oh, uh-oh, Claude has been having issues all morning. So, I'm chalking that up to Claude. All right, it filled it out and it submitted the newsletter entry. Very cool. So, from our mobile phone, we can execute browser commands and actions on our computer. And in my experience using Slack, this works when my laptop is closed, which is super cool. What does it want to do next? It's testing the other newsletter sign-up field. Cool, it's going above and beyond. I didn't ask it to do this. I'm going to stop cuz I want to try something else. Can you provide a visual performance snapshot of my Google Analytics from this week to date? It looks like it's actually using the browser to browse Google Analytics and you can see my paltry traffic numbers. Visit the site. Okay, look at that. All right, this is unexpected. It's actually grabbed a bunch of screenshots and is giving me that report. So, I asked for something visual. I was curious if it had any capabilities to integrate visual blocks in the chat and maybe it does, but in this case, it went ahead and grabbed screenshots, which is super interesting. This seems like it has a lot of potential. I definitely see myself using this a lot. I'm wondering if this will capture scheduled tasks. That would be a game-changer for me because my mornings are very busy and I don't really get to internalize my briefing with co-work until I sit down at my desk. So, for this quick one, if you like what you see, visit the Viable Edge website at viableedge.com, sign up for the newsletter where I'm sharing tips, tactics, and strategies around marketing with Claude and Claude code. See you in the next one.
