Example 12: Remote Control and Dispatch
Control your Claude Code session from your phone. This is Anthropic's answer to OpenClaw's Telegram integration: manage your AI agent from anywhere.
OpenClaw equivalent: Telegram, WhatsApp, or any of the 15+ messaging channels for sending commands remotely.
Option A: Remote Control (/rc) for Claude Code
Works with the CLI. No Cowork needed.
Setup
- Start a Claude Code session in your terminal
- Type
/rc(short for/remote-control) - A URL and QR code appear
- Scan the QR code with your phone or open the URL in any browser
- You now have a full interactive session from your phone
The prompt (from your phone)
Search the web for the latest Claude Code changelog entries,
summarize the 3 most important features, and save the summary
to changelog-latest.md in the project root.
What happens
- Your phone sends the message to the active CC session
- Claude Code executes on your computer (terminal stays active)
- Results appear on both your phone and the terminal
- You can continue the conversation from either device
Option B: Dispatch for Cowork
If you use Claude Cowork (desktop app), Dispatch lets you assign tasks from the Claude mobile app.
Setup
- Open Claude Desktop app on Mac
- Switch to Cowork mode
- Go to Dispatch in settings
- Scan QR code with Claude mobile app (iOS/Android)
- Your phone is now paired to your desktop agent
How it differs from /rc
| Feature | /rc (Claude Code) | Dispatch (Cowork) |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Terminal session | Desktop app |
| Requires | CLI | Cowork desktop app |
| Phone app | Any browser | Claude mobile app |
| Computer Use | No | Yes |
| Connected apps | Via MCP | Built-in (Slack, Google, Notion) |
The OpenClaw comparison
OpenClaw lets you text your agent via Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or 12+ other channels. The agent is always-on.
Claude Code /rc requires an active session. Dispatch requires Cowork running on your Mac. Neither is truly "always-on" in the OpenClaw sense, but /schedule (remote triggers) can start sessions on demand from the web.
The gap is narrowing. For most "text my agent from my phone" use cases, /rc or Dispatch gets the job done.
