Apple adds AI assistant to Pages, Keynote, Numbers
Apple has added an AI assistant based on Apple and OpenAI models to Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. It can understand document context, design, animate, and polish slides in Keynote, draft and rewrite content in Pages, and calculate, visualize data, and suggest chart types in Numbers. The three apps support Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 and later, allowing third-party AI agents to connect. The assistant is rolling out in beta to devices compatible with Apple Intelligence and requires iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 or later. In addition, Pixelmator Pro adds a Generate Fill feature, and Logic Pro gets a Liquid Glass redesign and an AI assistant that can build vocal tracks from a single prompt.

Apple is bringing an AI assistant to its suite of productivity apps , including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. The assistant, which is built on AI models from Apple and OpenAI, can understand a document’s context to perform tasks like designing, animating, and refining slides in Keynote.
In Pages, Apple says the AI assistant can draft, restructure, and tweak written content. It can also calculate, visualize, and organize data in Numbers, while suggesting chart types and building custom tables.
Keynote, Pages, and Numbers now support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later, allowing third-party AI agents to plug into the apps. The AI assistant is rolling out in beta to devices compatible with Apple Intelligence. It works on devices running iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 or later.
Several other updates are coming to Apple’s creative apps as well, with Pixelmator Pro introducing a Generate Fill feature that allows you to edit part of an image by describing the changes you want to see. Apple says the tool “automatically matches the lighting, perspective, and texture of the surrounding environment so edits blend in.”
Meanwhile, Logic Pro for Mac and iPad is getting a Liquid Glass redesign, along with an AI assistant that Apple says can “set up a vocal track from a single prompt” and edit existing projects. There’s also a redesigned Browser on Mac that uses on-device AI to automatically analyze, classify, and tag added sounds.
