Apple has added an "Intelligent Assistant" to Keynote, Numbers, and Pages. The feature is available in beta for Apple Creator Studio subscribers. The update arrives again after the apps were temporarily removed from the App Store.
In Numbers, the Intelligent Assistant can build formulas, visualize data, help generate formulas with natural language, and generate tables. In Pages, it can start a first draft, "edit, organize, and elevate your writing," draft sections, adjust tone, and generate images or shapes using natural language. In Keynote, it can help build and refine slides, add animations, create presenter notes, and generate images and shapes.
For all three apps, the Intelligent Assistant can search the web for information on a topic and add it to a document. Apple says it can also walk users through advanced features or suggest what to try. Creator Studio subscribers also get new templates, themes, and curated videos in the Content Hub. All users receive bug fixes and performance improvements, and Keynote gains an Interchange Format for importing and exporting presentations.
The updates also add iPhone Duo support to all three apps, though this is not mentioned in the release notes. Keynote, Numbers, and Pages remain free, with extra capabilities available through a Creator Studio subscription priced at $12.99 per month, which works across all of Apple's creator apps.
