Johntext started in 2011 from a simple idea: literature should not only entertain. It should help people decide and act.

Today johntext.de is my home base for that idea. I use writing and AI to explore real questions about work, technology, risk, and meaning.

What Johntext is

Johntext is a long-term project. A place where writing, AI, and real-world questions meet. No fluff. Just ideas that help you think and act.

  • Literature with purpose – essays, stories, and conversations that respect your time.
  • AI-powered thinking – I use tools like ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, and others to go deeper and faster.
  • Built in public – I test ideas and tools openly so others can reuse what works.

How AI fits in

I treat AI as a tool, not an oracle.

  • explore ideas from multiple angles
  • stress-test arguments and assumptions
  • make complex topics readable for busy people
