iWork just entered the Apple Intelligence era

Apple released the second round of AI features powered by Apple Intelligence this week through iOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia. Now it’s the iWork suite of productivity apps that has an Apple Intelligence update ready for the world.

iWork 14.3

Pages, Keynote, and Numbers have each been updated to version 14.3 with release notes that highlight compatibility with new Apple Intelligence features:

Proofread, rewrite, summarize, and compose text for your document, presentation, or presentation with Writing Tools*

Create fun, original images for your document, presentation, or presentation with Image Playground*

Siri can use ChatGPT to answer questions about content in your document, presentation, or presentation*

*Requires Apple Intelligence

Each version number and change log corresponds to Pages, Keynote, and Numbers on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Now if only macOS could have the same version as iOS and iPadOS…

These are the relevant release notes from iOS 18.2 that relate to today’s iWork updates:

• Image Playground
  • A new app that lets you use concepts, descriptions, and people from your photo library to create fun, playful images in multiple styles
  • Swipe through previews and choose from as you add concepts to your playground
  • Choose from animation and illustration styles when creating your image
  • Create images in Messages and Freeform, as well as third party apps
  • Images are synced in your Image Playground library across all your devices with iCloud

• ChatGPT support
  • ChatGPT from OpenAI can be accessed right from Siri or Writing Tools
  • Compose in Writing Tools allows you to create something from scratch with ChatGPT
  • Siri can tap into ChatGPT when relevant to provide you an answer
  • A ChatGPT account is not required and your requests will be anonymous and won’t be used to train OpenAI’s models
  • Sign in with ChatGPT to access your account benefits, and requests will be covered by OpenAI’s data policies

• Describe your change in Writing Tools allows you to suggest how you’d like something rewritten, for example as a poem
