.ppsm file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .ppsm file is a macro-enabled PowerPoint slideshow that opens directly in presentation mode and supports embedded VBA macros. It combines the instant-launch behavior of .ppsx files with the automation capabilities of macro-enabled formats. This makes .ppsm files useful for interactive or automated presentations, though they carry the same security considerations as other macro-enabled Office formats.

LIZ AI automates what macros used to do manually. It updates slide content, enforces brand rules, and prepares macro-enabled presentations for use — without anyone triggering a single script.

Written Communication

Written communication is the transmission of information through written text — including emails, reports, proposals, presentations, messages, and documentation. Unlike spoken communication, written messages persist over time and can be reviewed, shared, and referenced repeatedly. Effective written communication requires clarity, appropriate structure, careful word choice, and an understanding of the reader's needs and context. In business settings, it is one of the primary channels for formal decisions, instructions, and record-keeping.

Data-Driven Presentation

A data-driven presentation is a slide deck in which the content — charts, KPIs, tables, and narrative text — is directly derived from live or structured data sources rather than manually entered. Rather than copying figures from a dashboard into PowerPoint, data-driven presentations pull information automatically from connected systems such as CRM, ERP, or BI tools. The result is a living presentation that always reflects current data — and is the foundation of Agentic Slides architecture.

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.
