Start deep research tasks on your computer from your phone
Users message Claude Cowork from their phone to start a deep research task that works across files, browser, tools, dashboards and code on their machine, then returns a summary. Task: Suggested implementation: Install Claude Desktop and pair it with a mobile device to initiate persistent conversations. The agent accesses local files, browsers, tools, and code within a secure sandbox on the user's machine. Human role involves defining the research scope via mobile messages and reviewing the final output on the desktop.; tools: Claude Cowork. Human role: Source evidence is unavailable regarding specific human roles or manual interventions in the workflow.; limitations: Prerequisites include a compatible Claude Desktop installation and mobile pairing capability. Access may be restricted to specific subscription tiers (e.g., Max or Pro) depending on current rollout status.

Overview
Users message Claude Cowork from their phone to start a deep research task that works across files, browser, tools, dashboards and code on their machine, then returns a summary.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Install Claude Desktop and pair it with a mobile device to initiate persistent conversations. The agent accesses local files, browsers, tools, and code within a secure sandbox on the user's machine. Human role involves defining the research scope via mobile messages and reviewing the final output on the desktop.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source returned a 403 error and no execution logs were provided. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that a deep research task initiated from mobile completes successfully and returns a structured summary to the desktop interface within the expected timeframe.
Human role
Source evidence is unavailable regarding specific human roles or manual interventions in the workflow.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a compatible Claude Desktop installation and mobile pairing capability. Access may be restricted to specific subscription tiers (e.g., Max or Pro) depending on current rollout status. Integration uncertainty exists regarding internal dashboard access permissions and sandbox security constraints.
Try it
Act as a research assistant. I need to start a deep research task on my computer using my phone. First, confirm that Claude Desktop is installed and paired with my mobile device. I will send a message from my phone: '[replaceable research topic, e.g., analyze Q3 sales data from local CSVs]'. Ensure the agent uses local files and browser tools within the secure sandbox. Do not publish or spend money without my explicit approval. After the task completes, provide a polished summary on the desktop. Measure success by checking if the summary accurately reflects the requested scope and if all cited sources are valid. If inputs are missing, ask for clarification before proceeding. Perform a small sample dry run first to verify connectivity.
