# 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
|
|
|
|
1. Start a Claude Code session in your terminal
|
|
2. Type `/rc` (short for `/remote-control`)
|
|
3. A URL and QR code appear
|
|
4. Scan the QR code with your phone or open the URL in any browser
|
|
5. 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
|
|
|
|
1. Open Claude Desktop app on Mac
|
|
2. Switch to Cowork mode
|
|
3. Go to Dispatch in settings
|
|
4. Scan QR code with Claude mobile app (iOS/Android)
|
|
5. 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.
