Term explanation
A .pptm file is a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation that contains one or more embedded VBA macros in addition to slides with text, images, and formatting. Macros allow presenters to automate repetitive tasks — such as updating data fields or triggering animations — directly within the file. Because .pptm files can run executable code, they are treated with caution by security tools and should only be opened from trusted sources.
LIZ AI brings intelligence beyond macros to your PowerPoint environment. It autonomously updates content, checks brand compliance, and prepares presentations across your organization — automatically.

Learn moreAudience Response Systems (ARS) are technical solutions that are used in presentations in order to increase the interaction between the presenter and the audience. There are various forms of ARS that offer different features.
Learn moreNormal View is the default editing mode in Microsoft PowerPoint. It displays the current slide in the center panel, a thumbnail panel on the left for navigating between slides, and a notes panel at the bottom for speaker notes. Normal View is where most presentation editing takes place — adding content, formatting text, inserting images, and adjusting layouts. It provides a clear, work-focused interface for building and refining individual slides.
Learn moreGenerative 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.
