Did you checked the API for PowerPoint?
(As much as I know it is a pint in the a** even using UI)

I have no clue what API is as said I am fairly new to coding.

You can Google? Search!
For this, maybe: powerpoint api c#

There is Open XML SDK 2.5 which uses System.IO.Packaging-API if that was what you meant ?

I preferred to use a presentation library for C# and VB.NET. You can copy any existing slide and add it to your presentation with AddClone method. For example check out this slides example for C# and VB.NET.
