Apple is adding an AI assistant to its core productivity apps, starting with Keynote, Pages and Numbers. The assistant can read a document’s context and act on it, whether that means designing or animating a slide deck or tightening a paragraph of prose. It is built on AI models from Apple and OpenAI.
In Keynote, the assistant can design, animate and refine slides based on what is already in the presentation. In Pages, Apple says it can draft, restructure and tweak written content. In Numbers, it can calculate, visualize and organize data, suggest chart types and build custom tables.
The three apps also now support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later. That protocol allows third-party AI agents to plug directly into the software, a step that opens the productivity suite to outside tools rather than limiting users to Apple’s own assistant.
The AI assistant is rolling out in beta. It works on devices that support Apple Intelligence and run iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27 or later.
Apple is making changes across its creative lineup as well. Pixelmator Pro is getting a feature called Generate Fill, which lets users edit part of an image by describing the change they want. Apple says the tool “automatically matches the lighting, perspective, and texture of the surrounding environment so edits blend in.”
Logic Pro for Mac and iPad is getting a redesign built around Apple’s Liquid Glass visual style, along with an AI assistant that Apple says can “set up a vocal track from a single prompt” and edit existing projects. The redesigned Browser on Mac uses on-device AI to analyze, classify and tag sounds as users add them to a project, so they can be found more easily later.
Final Cut Pro is also getting an update. Through a partnership with MotionVFX, the app will bring templates, graphics, titles and transitions directly into the editing environment. Apple is also building a Content Hub into Final Cut Pro, which will include a library of stock videos, photos and backgrounds.
Existing subscribers to Apple’s Creator’s Studio will receive the updates for free in November. Apple did not say in the announcement what the subscription costs or whether the AI features will carry any additional charge.
Taken together, the changes show Apple putting AI into the everyday tools people use to make documents, spreadsheets, slideshows, images, music and video. The company is pairing its own assistants with support for outside AI agents, a combination that gives developers a path into its apps and gives users more choice over which AI tools they use inside them.
