Display duration

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Display duration in PowerPoint refers to the length of time a slide remains visible before automatically advancing to the next one. Setting a display duration enables auto-play presentations that run without manual input — useful for kiosks, event loops, or self-running demos. Duration settings are configured per slide in the Transitions panel and can be combined with timing controls on individual animations to choreograph a fully automated presentation sequence.

LIZ AI manages more than timing. It keeps slide content synchronized with live data so that every slide shown — regardless of duration — displays accurate, current information.

Orchestrator Agent

An orchestrator agent is a specialized AI agent that coordinates and directs the work of other agents — rather than executing tasks directly itself. In a multi-agent system, the orchestrator receives a high-level goal, uses task decomposition to break it into subtasks, assigns them to specialist agents, monitors progress, and assembles the final output. This pattern enables reliable automation of complex, multi-step enterprise workflows.

Agent Loop

The agent loop is the core operating cycle of an autonomous AI agent. It runs continuously through four phases: Perception (gathering information), Reasoning (planning the next step), Action (executing — such as calling a tool or generating content), and Observation (evaluating the result). The loop repeats until the task is complete or the agent requires human input. This is the mechanism behind Agentic AI systems — it is what allows agents to handle complex, multi-step tasks that a single prompt-and-response model could not.

Online Communication

Online communication encompasses all forms of information exchange that take place over digital networks — including email, instant messaging, video calls, social media, webinars, and collaborative platforms. It has become the dominant mode of professional communication, enabling global teams to collaborate in real time regardless of location. Online communication introduces unique challenges around tone, response time, information overload, and the loss of non-verbal cues, all of which require deliberate attention to maintain clarity and connection.
