According to Boris Cherny on X, Anthropic is previewing Dispatch in Claude Cowork, enabling one persistent Claude conversation that runs locally on your computer and can be messaged from your phone, so you can return to finished work (source: Boris Cherny citing Felix Rieseberg). According to Felix Rieseberg, users can try Dispatch by installing Claude Desktop and pairing a phone, indicating a cross-device, continuous workflow designed for long-running tasks like research, code generation, and data processing (source: Felix Rieseberg on X). As reported by these posts, the feature positions Claude for enterprise knowledge work by reducing context resets, improving task continuity, and unlocking asynchronous handoffs between desktop and mobile, which can cut switching costs and boost throughput for teams adopting agentic workflows.

According to @AnthropicAI, Claude Desktop now enables users to install local MCP servers with just one click. This update uses Desktop Extensions (.dxt files) to package servers, manage dependencies, and deliver secure configurations, streamlining the deployment process for AI applications. This practical advancement allows developers and businesses to accelerate AI server setup on local machines, reducing friction for enterprise adoption and custom workflow integration. The secure packaging and dependency management also minimize security risks and operational overhead, making it easier for organizations to scale AI solutions locally (source: @AnthropicAI).
