Apple brings on-device generative copy and layout to Pages and Keynote with Sage engine

AI · 4 min read

Pages and Keynote now include on-device generation for summaries, alternate headlines, and layout refinements without sending content to the cloud. The Sage engine runs on the newest Apple silicon and Vision Pro, offering low-latency suggestions that respect local font and layout constraints.

Keynote users can ask for multiple slide designs adapted to their presentation tone, while Pages can produce executive summaries and boilerplate sections tied to document style. Apple stressed that all model operations remain private by default, with opt-in cloud sync for cross-device model state.

For designers, Apple exposed layout metadata so outputs are editable down to spacing and typographic scales. The update helps small teams iterate faster while maintaining asset control within Apple's ecosystem.
