Closed Questions

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Closed questions are questions that can be answered with a limited set of responses — most commonly a simple 'yes' or 'no', or a selection from predefined options. They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.

LIZ AI helps structure presentations around the questions that matter. The Smart Presentation Composer frames content with clear, focused messaging — making it easier for audiences to follow arguments and reach conclusions.

Mobile learning (mlearning) refers to educational content and experiences delivered on smartphones, tablets, or other portable devices.

Agentic Slides

Agentic Slides are presentation slides that autonomously respond to changes in connected enterprise systems. Rather than being static documents, Agentic Slides pull live data from sources like CRM, ERP, or BI tools and update their content automatically. When KPIs shift or new information becomes available, the relevant slides are refreshed without manual effort. The concept makes presentations a living part of an organization's data infrastructure.

Distributed Audience

A distributed audience is a group of presentation attendees who are physically located in different places — such as different offices, cities, or countries — and who attend the presentation remotely or from multiple simultaneous locations. Managing a distributed audience requires careful attention to technical setup, timing across time zones, and engagement tools that compensate for the lack of physical presence. Distributed audiences are common in global organizations, virtual events, and multi-site corporate communications.

Prompt-to-Deck

Prompt-to-deck describes the process of generating a complete presentation from a short natural language instruction. The user provides a prompt — a topic, goal, or brief description — and a generative AI system produces a full slide deck including structure, content, and layout. Advanced prompt-to-deck systems go beyond simple templates: they pull in live data, apply brand guidelines automatically, and produce results comparable to a full AI presentation maker. The term is used interchangeably with "text-to-presentation."
