.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.

LIZ AI transforms PowerPoint files into living presentations. Whether you work with .pps or .pptx, LIZ connects your slides to live data — so the deck is always ready to run, with current content.

They are used to build brand awareness, drive purchase consideration, and create memorable experiences that consumers associate with a product or brand.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic in 2024 and widely adopted in 2025 by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. It defines a standardized way for AI agents to connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems — without requiring custom integrations for every connection. MCP acts as a universal interface: an AI agent with MCP support can securely access databases, APIs, document repositories, and business applications using a consistent protocol, regardless of the underlying system. This dramatically simplifies how AI is embedded into complex enterprise environments.
