Imagine having a smart assistant that works 24 hours a day, executing your computer tasks even while you’re sleeping or in a meeting — all from your mobile phone. This is exactly what Anthropic recently announced: AI Agents are now working from your smartphone, and you can control them remotely through the Claude app.
📱 What’s new? The agent now works without needing to leave your laptop on
On July 7, 2026, Anthropic announced a massive update to its intelligent agent Claude Cowork. Previously, you had to leave your laptop open for the agent to work — some users would leave their devices open all night! Now, you can ask the agent to perform complex tasks and close your laptop, and it will work in the background from the cloud.
What does this mean exactly? Imagine you’re in a meeting and need to prepare a presentation for tomorrow’s meeting. You write one command in the Claude app on your mobile phone: “Prepare a contract renewal document from emails, Slack conversations, and a summary of recent meetings, and write a presentation and email draft.” The agent works and completes the task while you sleep.
🤖 How does Claude Cowork work from a mobile phone?
The new service is based on the Dispatch feature that was previously available, but it was limited — your laptop had to be open for the agent to complete tasks. The new update allows the agent to work directly on Anthropic’s servers, without needing your personal computer.

- Send tasks from the Claude app on iOS or Android
- Scheduling for tasks — works at a specified time (like contract settlement)
- Monitors your emails, Slack, Teams, and calendar system
- Able to write content, organize files, and prepare presentations
