Meet the smart assistant
As noted in the release notes for a now-retired Apple Pages update, Creator Studio apps will soon adopt a Gemini-like tool called Intelligent Assistant. According to the changelog, the beta feature requires iOS 27 and will allow Creator Studio users to:
- Start a first draft, then edit, organize and improve your writing with an assistant that understands your document;
- Get guidance on where to start, learn how to use advanced features, or try a tip to see what’s possible;
- Compose a section, adjust its tone, or generate images and shapes using natural language.
- Find up-to-date information on a topic and incorporate it into your document.

Based on the official description, it appears that Intelligent Assistant will significantly elevate existing writing tools with deeper knowledge of document context, help research topics using new information, and more. While users can already achieve similar results using Siri AI in iOS 27, it looks like Intelligent Assistant will be integrated more deeply into Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, providing a more intuitive ideation, creation, and editing flow.
Other Creator Studio benefits included with the removed update include “a new collection of professionally designed templates,” along with curated videos in the Content Center “that add movement and depth to your document.”
Where is the update?
I was able to download Pages version 15.4.1 right after Apple released it and before its quick removal. However, despite having an active Creator Studio subscription, I was unable to locate and use the new Smart Assistant. This suggests that the company accidentally published a changelog intended for a future update or did not properly implement the new AI tools.
