macOS 27Required OS for the new Model Context Protocol support
The short version
- Apple is bringing an AI assistant to Keynote, Pages and Numbers.
- The assistant is built on AI models from Apple and OpenAI and can understand a document's context.
- In Pages it can draft, restructure and tweak written content, while in Numbers it can calculate, visualize and organize data.
- Keynote, Pages and Numbers now support the Model Context Protocol on macOS 27 or later, so third-party AI agents can plug into the apps.
Why it matters
The update shows AI assistants moving into everyday productivity software. Support for the Model Context Protocol lets outside AI agents work inside these apps, which matters for developers building agent tools.
