- Apple is rolling the assistant out in beta to Apple Intelligence-compatible devices running iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27 or later; the assistant uses models from Apple and OpenAI.
- Keynote gives the assistant document context so it can design, animate and refine slides.
- Pages lets the assistant draft, restructure and tweak written content.
- Numbers lets the assistant calculate, visualize and organize data, suggest chart types and build custom tables.
- Model Context Protocol is supported across Pages, Keynote and Numbers on macOS 27 or later, allowing third-party AI agents to plug into the apps.
Why it matters: Users with Apple Intelligence-compatible devices on iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 gain context-aware help across writing, slides and spreadsheets, while Model Context Protocol support lets third-party agent developers connect tools to those workflows. AI is now embedded in the apps themselves, with access extending beyond Apple’s own assistant.
