.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.

AI Grounding

AI grounding is the process of anchoring an AI system's outputs to verified, real-world data rather than relying solely on knowledge encoded during model training. A grounded AI retrieves relevant, up-to-date information from external sources before generating a response. This significantly reduces the risk of AI hallucinations and ensures that outputs are accurate, current, and contextually relevant — a critical requirement for enterprise AI applications where factual reliability is non-negotiable. Grounding is a core technique used in LLM-powered systems.

Concept Presentation

A concept presentation introduces a new idea, product concept, or strategic direction to an audience for evaluation or feedback. It is typically used in early stages of a project — before a full proposal is developed — to test reactions, align stakeholders, or secure initial approval. A good concept presentation clearly communicates the core idea, explains the problem it solves, and outlines the key assumptions, without yet committing to a full implementation plan.
