    Frequently Asked Questions

    Claude Dispatch is a feature within the Claude Cowork desktop app that allows you to remote control your Mac from a mobile device. To set it up, you must install the Claude Cowork app on your Mac (the host) and the Claude app on your iPhone or iPad (the remote). Once installed, you enable "Dispatch" in the desktop settings to generate a unique connection code, which you then enter into the mobile app to create a secure one-to-one pairing.

    In early research previews, the success rate for Dispatch is approximately 50%, often due to technical or environmental hurdles. For the agent to work, your Mac must be awake and reachable; if the computer goes to sleep, the connection is lost. Additionally, because the AI "sees" via screenshots, a cluttered desktop with too many open windows can overwhelm the agent. Keeping your workspace tidy and adjusting energy settings to "Prevent automatic sleeping" can significantly improve performance.

    Dispatch operates within a "permissioned sandbox" to prevent unauthorized or harmful actions. For high-stakes tasks like deleting files or opening new apps, the system requires manual pre-approval. Users must proactively grant "Accessibility," "Full Disk Access," and "Screen Recording" permissions in the Mac’s System Settings while physically at the computer. Furthermore, the AI is guided by "Constitutional AI" principles, meaning it is programmed to be cautious and will often ask for clarification rather than risk making a mistake.

    The Claude Code Router is an open-source proxy that acts as a traffic controller for AI requests. Instead of sending every simple query to an expensive, high-tier model like Claude Opus, the router analyzes the task and directs it to a more appropriate resource. It can route basic tasks to cheaper models like Gemini Flash or local models via Ollama, while reserving complex reasoning for top-tier models. This strategy can reduce AI API bills by 40% to 85% and provides resilience if one provider's servers go down.

    The current landscape is dominated by Claude Opus, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, each with specific strengths. Claude is considered the "Specialist," excelling at production code and deep reasoning. GPT-5.4 is the "Swiss Army Knife," best suited for web automation and navigating operating systems due to its superior "Computer Use" benchmarks. Gemini 3.1 Pro is the "Value Leader," offering a massive 2-million-token context window that makes it the most efficient choice for analyzing giant documents or long files.
