.pps file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .pps file is a legacy PowerPoint slideshow format that opens directly in presentation mode rather than the editing view. Double-clicking a .pps file launches the slideshow immediately, which made it popular for distributing finished presentations to audiences. The .pps format was later replaced by .ppsx as part of Office 2007's shift to an open XML-based file structure.

AI Agent

An AI agent is a software system that perceives its environment, reasons over context, and autonomously takes actions to achieve a defined goal — without requiring a human to trigger each individual step. Unlike a chatbot that responds to a single prompt, an AI agent plans, executes multi-step tasks, uses tools, and adapts based on the results it observes. AI agents can operate independently or as part of larger multi-agent systems, and are increasingly embedded in enterprise software to automate complex workflows across departments.
