Apple today updated Pages, Numbers, and Keynote for Mac and iOS with support for Apple Intelligence features like ChatGPT Siri integration, Writing Tools, and Image Playground that were largely introduced in iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2.

All three apps support Writing Tools for proofreading, summarizing, rewriting, and composing text, with the latter feature relying on ChatGPT. Siri is able to use ChatGPT to answer questions about what's in presentations, documents, and spreadsheets.

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote also offer Image Playground support, so there is now an option to create original images that can be used in iWork documents.

All of the new Apple Intelligence features require a device that's capable of Apple Intelligence. That includes the iPhone 15 Pro models, all iPhone 16 models, Macs with an Apple silicon chip, iPads with an Apple silicon chip, and the iPad mini 7.

Apple's iWork apps for iOS devices and Macs are free to download and use.

Excellent... liking and using Numbers/Pages/Keynote, I'm looking forward to to seeing how Apple AI helps using and being more productive with them.

Image cleanup is actually super useful. It basically condenses the typical photoshop clonestamp tool of the last 20 years to one finger press and instantly
 
The bug that Pages & Co put not needed images into the file when you convert a ooXML office file is still there.
 
It's pretty useless without Non-English support at this time anyway.
Thats upcoming. Could be more languages added with 18.3/15.3 beta when it shows. Why wait for 18.4?
Apple Intelligence is quickly adding support for more languages. In December, Apple Intelligence will be available for localized English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K., and in April, a software update will deliver expanded language support, with more coming throughout the year. Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and other languages will be supported.
 
as an MS office user every time I want to give numbers a fair shot I slam my head against the desk trying to find out how to do something so basic.

THIS sounds like a good addition I would want to check out.

Wahawaha!

The copyright fanatics will insist nothing is original in the images and it is all theft!

All words, shapes and objects should be copyrighted in order to achieve peak capitalism. And then all those rights should be sold to corporations and billionaires so they can collect rents and end all free expression!!!

Some of y'all Cray Cray! If Apple gave you a Mac Pro fully loaded with a ton of memory and storage with super most best graphics and a ton of the best games on the market or a MacBook Pro with similar specs all for free you would find a way to complain because they didn't offer to pay your electric bill when you use it. - SMH LOL
 
People crying about 'needing' a separate App Store in the EU and then wondering why Apple don’t give them first preferences 🤷🏻‍♂️
Apple has never cared about EU users. It doesn't even support so many languages that android and Windows support since the 90's.
There has never been Apple News etc available in my country etc…

Coming from Exel, I was surprised how much of a learning curve there was to get the hang of Numbers, but now I love it and there are things that Numbers does well that Excel doesn't do, specifically with layout and presenting data.

Why should Apple care?

The EU is incredibly hostile to Apple, and the EU citizens cheer on its heavy handed business practices.

Well, congratulations! You reap what you sow.

But like I told someone else--at least you can sideload your apps!

That’s not true. It’s all about licensing agreements. Again, it’s where the EU think they are better than everyone else, and they restrict international companies from competing in their market. So the people suffer for it. Apple would Love to be an equal player in the market, but the EU will not allow them.

Don’t blame Apple for an EU restriction.

What languages doesn’t Apple support in the EU?

Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian etc languages…
iTunes Store was released like back in 2010 in Estonia as far as I can recall, which is pretty late. I don't know the reason for it, but yeah, none of the Apple products support. There are more spoken languages in the EU that Apple does not support but Microsoft and Google do…
