Apple is adding an AI chatbot to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers

Apple is incorporating an AI assistant into its productivity apps, including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. This AI, developed using models from Apple and OpenAI, possesses the capability to comprehend the context of a document and execute tasks such as designing, animating, and enhancing slides within Keynote. In Pages, the AI can assist in drafting, restructuring, and modifying written material.

Additionally, it can analyze, visualize, and organize data in Numbers, suggesting suitable chart types and constructing custom tables. The AI assistant is compatible with macOS 27 or later, enabling third-party AI agents to integrate with these applications. It is currently in beta for devices supporting Apple Intelligence, which run on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, or macOS 27 or higher.

Other enhancements are also being introduced to Apple's creative apps. Pixelmator Pro, for instance, will feature a Generate Fill tool that enables users to modify parts of an image through textual prompts. The changes made by this tool will seamlessly integrate with the existing image, preserving elements like lighting, perspective, and texture.

Logic Pro for Mac and iPad will receive a redesigned interface, along with an AI assistant that can set up a vocal track from a single prompt and edit existing projects. Additionally, the Browser on Mac will undergo a redesign, utilizing on-device AI to automatically examine, classify, and tag sounds added to the application. Final Cut Pro will also undergo updates, incorporating templates, graphics, titles, and transitions directly into the app via MotionVFX.

Furthermore, a Content Hub will be integrated into Final Cut Pro, offering a library of stock videos, photos, and backgrounds. These enhancements to Apple's Creator's Studio will be provided to existing subscribers at no cost in November.
