What exactly do you need to do?

You could automate PowerPoint and have it create a new presentation, add
slides, add text/shapes to the slides and so forth. That'd require that you
have PowerPoint installed on the system.

You can also create a specially formatted text file that, when opened in PPT,
will create slides in whatever the default template happens to be even though
the file is not itself a PPT file.

Creating PPT files from scratch is probably a non-starter.
