Apple is adding an AI chatbot to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers
TL;DR
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.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, the MCP connection deserves the first test because it could move existing AI workflows directly into documents, decks, and spreadsheets. Before connecting anything, verify which agents receive write access, whether edits remain auditable, and whether Apple and OpenAI models can be controlled separately in your setup.
Until Apple clarifies permissions and pricing, use a copied file and keep the experiment reversible.
