Claude desktop works on the files already on your computer. Cowork runs tasks and returns finished deliverables, including spreadsheets with formulas that work and decks you can send. Dispatch runs the job in the background while you do something else, and none of it needs a terminal. With persistent context and agentic features, Claude desktop gives you the power to delegate actual work to AI.
