Extemporaneous Speech

Extemporaneous Speech

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

An extemporaneous speech is a speech that involves little preparation, as the speaker may use notes or cards to give his talk. It is important that speakers will still use their own words and talk naturally. .

SlideLizard CREATOR ensures the slides behind any presentation — extemporaneous or rehearsed — are always brand-compliant and up to date, so speakers can focus on natural delivery rather than slide preparation.

Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting and refining the instructions given to an AI system in order to produce better, more accurate, or more useful outputs. A well-engineered prompt provides clear context, specifies the desired format, and sets constraints that guide the model toward the intended result. In the context of presentation tools, prompt engineering determines how effectively a user can instruct an AI to generate the right slide structure, tone, and content — making it a practical skill for anyone working with generative AI tools.

Closed Questions

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.

AI Hallucination

AI hallucination describes the phenomenon where an LLM confidently produces content that is factually incorrect, fabricated, or entirely made up — presented as though it were true. Hallucinations occur because language models generate statistically probable text based on training patterns, without access to verified facts. In enterprise contexts, hallucinations in presentations are a serious risk. AI grounding — anchoring outputs to verified company data — is the primary strategy for preventing hallucinations in production AI systems.

Autonomous Agent

An autonomous agent is an AI system that independently pursues goals, makes decisions, and executes tasks over time — without requiring continuous human direction. What distinguishes an autonomous agent from a simple automation script is its ability to reason, adapt to new information, and handle unexpected situations. Autonomous agents track progress toward a goal across multiple steps and sessions, making them suitable for complex enterprise workflows such as automated reporting, content updates, and communication management.
