Apple is adding an AI chatbot to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers
What happened
Apple is adding an AI assistant powered by Apple and OpenAI models to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers to help edit writing, create slides, and organize data. The assistant is rolling out in beta on Apple Intelligence-compatible devices running iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 or later; the apps also support MCP on macOS 27 or later for third-party AI agents. Updates to Apple’s Creator’s Studio will be free to existing subscribers in November.
Why it matters
Support for third-party agents through MCP adds an integration dimension to Apple’s productivity updates, extending their relevance beyond the built-in assistant’s document, slide, and spreadsheet features.
