Apple has added beta Intelligent Assistant to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for iOS 2— at least for Apple Creator Studio subscribers.
I’m not sure how this is different from Siri AI, but according to 9to5Mac, here’s what it can do in each of the iWork apps, per Apple’s release notes:
Pages (word processing) — Intelligent Assistant features
- Start a first draft, then edit, organize, and elevate your writing with an assistant that understands your document
- Get guidance on where to start, learn how to use advanced features, or try a suggestion to see what’s possible
- Draft a section, adjust your tone, or generate images and shapes using natural language
- Search for up-to-date information on a topic and incorporate it into your document
Keynote (presentation)— Intelligent Assistant features
- Build your story, add animations, and refine your slides with an assistant that understands your presentation
- Get guidance on where to start, learn how to use advanced features, or try a suggestion to see what’s possible
- Generate slides, presenter notes, images, and shapes using natural language
- Search for up-to-date information on a topic and incorporate it into your slides
Numbers (spreadsheet)— Intelligent Assistant features
- Uncover insights, build complex formulas, and visualize your data with an assistant that understands your spreadsheet
- Get guidance on where to start, learn how to use advanced features, or try a suggestion to see what’s possible
- Generate tables, get chart suggestions, and get help with formulas using natural language
- Search for up-to-date information on a topic and incorporate it into your spreadsheet
According to Apple, there’s also a new Interchange Format (.keyx). The updates also add support for the iPhone Duo, set to reach customers starting October 23.
All the apps are part of the Creator Studio bundle that costs US $12.99 per month or $129 per year. Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro can also be purchased standalone. Numbers, Pages, and other apps are free to use, but some features are limited to those who subscribe to Creator Studio.
