vsCodexroom vs PowerPoint.
PowerPoint was built for one person making one deck in 1990, and it still leads the world on universal compatibility. Codexroom is the version built for the world that arrived in 2026, where the brand lives in code, the agent writes the first draft, and the share watermarks itself. Use PowerPoint when the recipient demands a .pptx file. Use Codexroom for everything before that.
