John Greater welcomes you to:
Author, developer & creative
Science fiction novels and innovative digital projects
I’m John Greater, owner of johngreaterlab.com — 50 years old, based in Scheibbs, Austria. I’ve been devouring science fiction since I was a teenager and always dreamed of writing my own books and building my own apps and websites.
With the help of today’s AI tools, that dream has finally come true. 2047 - THE WHITE ROOM is my first book — a story I’ve been carrying with me for years.
Besides my passion for science fiction, I build innovative digital projects that bring technology and creativity together — from interactive children’s books to more complex web applications.
Game · Making-of · Work in progress
A settlement-builder experiment in Godot 4 with C#: procedural landscapes, GLB buildings and workers, and early settle-and-gather loops. The making-of page collects screenshots and gameplay clips while the prototype grows — not a public release or download.
Creative AI Website
ki-kunterbunt brings together AI-powered chat, creative tools, and small adventure games in one place: here, children shape their own worlds in conversation with endearing characters, while a paint tool and picture-book features make images and stories visible. Treasure Island, the treasure hunt, and the KIKI Show turn reading and choosing into an experience; the library and gallery invite discovery. Text-to-speech supports read-aloud, and the profile keeps content and purchases (e.g. credits) in one secure, manageable space — so the site stays clear and usable for families.
Science fiction novel
The same AI-assisted novel in two language editions: speculative fiction with dry, sarcastic humor, light on its feet even when the themes get heavy. The singularity has arrived — and it is not what we expected. “Because the biggest question is not whether artificial intelligences will control us, but why they would even want to in the first place.”
Picture Book
Entdecke die faszinierende Welt des Bauernhofs! In diesem liebevoll gestalteten Bilderbuch lernen Kinder ab 3 Jahren spielerisch die Tiere vom Bauernhof kennen. Mit über 50 wunderschönen Illustrationen gemischt mit Ausmalbilder und einfachen, verständlichen Texten führt dieses Buch die Kleinsten durch den Alltag auf dem Bauernhof.
Website
The companion site for the book: images, links, and a look ahead at a second volume. A “making-of” shows the many attempts to design a cover.

KUKI – Auto-Tuning mit KI
Lade ein Foto deines Autos hoch und stelle dein Tuning ein.
Browser strategy game
A hex-grid treasure hunt on a procedurally generated map: gather gold and other resources, clear fog of war, and command warriors, archers, and horsemen within a tight turn limit — trade in the market, deploy catapults, and steer clear of seas, swamps, and fire tiles.
Your personal knowledge base
A PHP web app with an English UI: upload PDFs, plain text, Markdown, Word documents, and images into your own folder; files are split into chunks and indexed for search. Visitors can query a public demo library; signed-in users keep a private index. Questions use BM25-style retrieval over your chunks, then Google Gemini to produce grounded answers—with optional query translation and a German-replies mode. Rebuild the index after uploads; chat threads can be saved locally in the browser.
