Normal view (slide view)

Normal view (slide view)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Normal 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.

LIZ AI enhances what you see in Normal View. It keeps slide content synchronized with live data, flags brand deviations in real time, and suggests improvements — so every slide is always presentation-ready.

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.

Nonverbal Communication

Nonverbal communication encompasses all forms of information conveyed without words — including body language, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, and tone of voice. Research suggests that a significant portion of interpersonal communication is nonverbal. In presentations, nonverbal cues strongly influence how a message is received: open posture conveys confidence, eye contact builds trust, and a steady voice signals authority. Presenters who align their nonverbal signals with their verbal content are generally perceived as more credible and engaging.

Face-to-face

Face-to-face communication refers to real-time interaction between two or more people who are physically present in the same location. It is considered the richest form of communication because it allows for immediate feedback and the full range of verbal and non-verbal cues — including body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. In an increasingly digital workplace, face-to-face communication remains highly valued for building trust, resolving complex issues, and strengthening relationships.

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.
