The open loop audit prompt that separates real delegation from simulated work + 3 more prompts for overnight execution
Anthropic shipped Dispatch and computer use this week. Together, they give you something that nearly a thousand people stood in line for in Shenzhen: you text Claude from your phone, it takes over your desktop, opens apps, clicks through screens, navigates tools that have no API, and delivers finished work while you’re away. Not a summary for you to review or a draft for you to edit. The finished work, handled.
TL;DR
- Dispatch allows remote delegation of tasks to an AI agent that controls your desktop, completing finished work without requiring review or editing.
- The primary mistake with AI agents is assigning them simulated work rather than tasks that genuinely remove work from your desk.
- Effective uses of Dispatch include meeting commitments, gathering decision-making information, connecting patterns, and addressing engineering debt.
- The technology involves cloud scheduling, persistent sessions, and parallel orchestration accessible from a phone.
- Dispatch can interact with applications that lack APIs, serving as a fallback for enterprise software.
- The article discusses the difference between self-hosted and managed solutions, similar to past infrastructure shifts.
- Key categories of work that Dispatch can eliminate include 'open loops' that disappear from your desk.
- Prompts are provided to distinguish real delegation from simulated work, including handoffs, recurring automations, and decision research.
