.ppsx file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .ppsx file is a PowerPoint show file that opens directly in slideshow mode, skipping the editing interface. Unlike .pptx files, which open in the editor, a .ppsx starts the presentation immediately when double-clicked. This makes it ideal for distributing finalized presentations to audiences who only need to view the content. The .ppsx format replaced the older .pps format introduced in Office 2007.

LIZ AI keeps your PowerPoint show files always up to date. It connects to your data sources, updates content automatically, and ensures every slide show is brand-compliant before it runs.

Large Language Model (LLM)

A large language model (LLM) is an AI system trained on vast amounts of text data that can understand, generate, and transform language at a human-like level. LLMs power a wide range of applications — from chatbots and writing assistants to automated document creation and data summarization. In enterprise software, LLMs are increasingly embedded into workflows to interpret unstructured data, draft content, and translate information between systems automatically. In contrast, the Large Presentation Model (LPM) is a specialised AI system that orchestrates the entire presentation cycle in an enterprise context.

Agentic Enterprise

An Agentic Enterprise is an organization in which AI agents autonomously handle entire workflows — including thinking, deciding, and communicating — on behalf of teams. Rather than using AI as a passive assistant, the Agentic Enterprise embeds autonomous agents into its core processes: data updates, content production, and stakeholder communication all happen with minimal human input. The concept represents a shift from AI-assisted work to AI-orchestrated operations.

Task Decomposition

Task decomposition is the process by which an AI agent breaks down a complex, high-level goal into a sequence of smaller, manageable subtasks. The agent identifies dependencies between steps, determines what tools or data each step requires, and decides which subtasks can run in parallel. Task decomposition is a fundamental capability of Agentic AI systems and is central to how an agent loop executes multi-step workflows reliably.

Generative AI

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that create new content — such as text, images, code, or structured data — in response to a prompt or task, rather than simply analyzing or classifying existing information. Powered by large language models and other foundation models, generative AI can write documents, summarize reports, produce slide content, and translate data into natural language. In enterprise settings, it is the core technology behind modern AI assistants, document automation tools, and presentation generators. A presentation-specific evolution of generative AI is the Large Presentation Model (LPM), which combines generative capabilities with enterprise context, brand guidelines, and the full presentation cycle.
