# Pages, Keynote and Numbers get Intelligent Assistant for Creator Studio subscribers

*The assistant drafts text, builds slides and helps with formulas; Keynote also gets an open .keyx file format for everyone.*

**Key points**

- Pages, Keynote and Numbers 15.4.2 add a beta Intelligent Assistant for Apple Creator Studio subscribers.
- It is US English only and needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device on iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later.
- Keynote also gets an open .keyx interchange format (beta) for all users.

Apple has released version 15.4.2 of Pages, Keynote and Numbers, and the headline change is a beta Intelligent Assistant for Apple Creator Studio subscribers. According to the App Store release notes for Pages, Keynote and Numbers, published on 23 October, the assistant works with the document, presentation or spreadsheet you have open and takes requests in plain language.

## What the assistant does in each app

In Pages, it can help start a first draft, then rework, reorganise or change the tone of the writing, and it can create images and shapes on request. In Keynote, it can generate whole slides, presenter notes, images and shapes, and help add animations. In Numbers, the focus is on data: it can build tables, propose charts, help write complex formulas and point out insights in a spreadsheet.

In all three apps the assistant can also look up current information on a topic and bring it into your file, and it offers suggestions for where to begin or how to use more advanced features.

## US English only for now

Apple’s notes say the feature is limited to US English and requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device running iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later. That means users whose devices are set to British, Australian or other variants of English, or to any other language, cannot use it yet. Apple has not said when more languages or regions will follow.

Creator Studio is Apple’s subscription bundle of creative apps, which launched in January at $12.99 a month or $129 a year in the US. Apple previewed further Creator Studio features for the iWork apps in September.

## Free changes for everyone

Keynote users who do not subscribe still get something: a new Keynote Interchange Format (.keyx), an open file format in beta that is meant to make presentations easier to work with outside the app. Subscribers also get new templates and themes, plus a Content Hub of curated videos to add motion to their work.

The release comes a day after version 15.4.1, which added the option to request access to a shared file and the ability to ask Siri questions about the apps.
