Apple adds Intelligent Assistant AI tool to Pages, Keynote and Numbers
Apple has launched an 'Intelligent Assistant' feature across its iWork apps—Pages, Keynote and Numbers—available in beta to Apple Creator Studio subscribers. The assistant can draft content, generate images, shapes, slides, tables and formulas, and pull in up-to-date information using natural language commands. It currently requires iOS 27 or later and is limited to US English.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move signals Apple's push to embed generative AI directly into productivity tools, competing with similar assistant features already offered by Microsoft and Google in their office suites. Tying the feature to the Apple Creator Studio subscription could also suggest Apple is testing AI as a premium revenue driver rather than a free addition to its software.
- Intelligent Assistant is now live in beta for Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
- It requires an Apple Creator Studio subscription, iOS 27+, and US English only.
- Capabilities include drafting text, generating visuals, building formulas, and searching current information.
