Apple begins rolling out an AI assistant for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers

Apple is rolling out a beta AI assistant for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. The company says it can understand document context to create, animate, and refine slides in Keynote; draft and restructure text in Pages; and calculate, visualize, and organize data in Numbers. The apps also now support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later, enabling third-party AI agents to integrate with them. The feature works on devices compatible with Apple Intelligence and running iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 or later.

The Verge also reports updates to Apple’s other creative apps. Pixelmator Pro will get the Generate Fill feature; Logic Pro will receive an assistant that Apple says can set up a vocal track from a prompt; and Final Cut Pro will add MotionVFX content and a Content Hub. Updates to Creator’s Studio will be free for existing subscribers in November.

Why it matters · editorial interpretation

The integration brings contextual assistance to text, presentation, and spreadsheet tasks, while MCP support could allow third-party agents to work with these apps. Use, however, depends on Apple Intelligence-compatible devices, specific operating-system versions, and the beta rollout.
