CMS1000 Guest Talk – Introduction to AI Coding（From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering）

It is our honor to invite Mr. Keith Li (Co-founder and CEO, Innopage Limited) to give a talk for the 1^st year students in the course CMS1000 - Computer and Mathematical Sciences Professionals in Society under Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FCMS) on 5^th Oct 2026. The objectives of CMS1000 are to introduce students to variety of professions, enthuse students about their major study and engage students in desirable forms of university learning. It is the 5^th lecture and his topic named “Introduction to AI Coding – From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering”. In the beginning, I took a selfie with Mr. Keith Li. We met at the Cyber Security Summit last year. 

In the beginning, Mr. Keith Li gave self-introduction about his background including AI and entrepreneur in industries and education. His companies got many different ICT awards.

Then he shared most updated news about AI including Anthropic boss views.

And then Keith shared 3 radical GenAI predictions for 2027 that it is the end of manual coding, infographics and commercial posters. He demonstrated how to do the infographic using GenAI onsite.

After that he introduced Vibe Coding that is a software development approach where you use natural language prompts to instruct an AI tool to write, run, and fix code.

He also quoted Andrej Karpathy (Co-founder, OpenAI) who explored the shift from casual AI prompting ("vibe coding") to structured oversight ("agentic engineering").

Mr. Keith Li showed a diagram which explained from prompting to agentic engineering.

Finally, he introduced NotebookLM to do slides and changed to editable PowerPoint!

Keith also compared the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) where SEO helps company’s pages rank in traditional search engine results (like Google and Bing), while GEO helps company’s brand get cited and included inside AI-generated answers and assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews).
