.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.

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.

Webinar

A webinar is a live, interactive online presentation or seminar broadcast over the internet. Participants join from any location using a web browser or app and can interact with the presenter through chat, polls, or Q&A features. Webinars are widely used for training sessions, product demonstrations, thought leadership events, and virtual conferences. Unlike recorded e-learning, webinars create a sense of real-time connection between presenter and audience.

Large Presentation Model (LPM)

A Large Presentation Model (LPM) is a specialised AI system designed for the demands of enterprise presentation communication. Unlike generic language models, an LPM does not simply process text — it connects company knowledge, audience context, live data, and brand guidelines to produce consistent, presentation-ready communication. The system encompasses the entire presentation cycle: from content structure and storyline to visual execution. Rather than acting as a simple generation tool, it takes on the role of a coordinating, agent-based system.
