Apple Launches AI Assistant in Productivity Apps Suite

Apple has announced the introduction of an AI assistant in its suite of productivity apps, including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. The assistant, built on AI models from Apple and OpenAI, can understand a document's context to perform tasks such as designing and animating slides in Keynote. In Pages, the AI assistant can draft, restructure, and tweak written content, while in Numbers, it can calculate, visualize, and organize data, suggesting chart types and building custom tables. The apps now support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later, allowing third-party AI agents to integrate into the applications.
