On October 22, reports described Apple’s Intelligent Assistant as a beta for Apple Creator Studio subscribers, with tools for writing in Pages, building presentations in Keynote and working with data in Numbers. The reported feature list also includes web searches and image generation, but access varied in early individual reports: MacRumors said the assistant had been added, while writers at 9to5Mac and Macworld said they could not see or activate it after updating.

What the assistant is reported to do in each app

The reported tasks differ by app: Pages focuses on documents, Keynote on presentations and Numbers on spreadsheets.

AppReported tasks
PagesDraft, edit and organize text; adjust its tone; generate images or shapes from natural-language requests; search the web for current information to add to a document.
KeynoteBuild and refine slides; add animations and presenter notes; generate slides, images or shapes; search the web for current information to incorporate.
NumbersSurface spreadsheet insights, build formulas, visualize data, generate tables and suggest charts.

These functions were described in reports that attributed the details to Apple release notes. Separately, 9to5Mac reported that Keynote added the .keyx Interchange Format for importing and exporting presentations.

Requirements reported for the beta

Reports described the beta as requiring an Apple Creator Studio subscription, iOS 27 or later and US English. The language requirement refers to English, not a confirmed country restriction.

What happens to apps and files after canceling Creator Studio

Apple says Creator Studio subscription features remain available until the paid billing period ends. Afterward, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and Freeform, along with files users created in them, remain accessible, while subscription intelligence features end. Apple states this as a general policy for Creator Studio intelligence features.
