What is Dan Koe’s Prompt Library and Human 3.0?

The Prompt Library is Dan Koe’s curated collection of AI prompts designed for creators and solopreneurs. Human 3.0 is the underlying philosophy — using AI as a creative amplifier, not a content replacement. The framework teaches you to prompt AI from the perspective of your unique human experience, not from generic templates.

Core principle: your personal stories, struggles, and insights are the differentiator. AI provides structure and research. You provide the human voice. See the Niche of One sheet for why your personal angle is the only sustainable moat.

What prompts are in the library?

The library covers 5 categories: (1) Writing prompts — hooks, threads, newsletter issues, essay outlines. (2) Strategy prompts — business model, offer design, audience growth. (3) Reflection prompts — journaling, anti-vision, priority setting. (4) Editing prompts — tone refinement, structure tightening, voice consistency. (5) Idea prompts — content topics, product angles, market gaps.

Each prompt includes the Human 3.0 wrapper: a section where you add your personal context before the AI generates. That context is what makes the output unique. Without it, you get generic AI slop. Pair this approach with the AI Tools guide for the full workflow.

How do you apply the Human 3.0 framework daily?

Three steps: (1) Every morning, write 100 words about what is on your mind — no editing, no judgment. (2) Feed that into a prompt with the context: “Based on this personal reflection, help me [specific outcome].” (3) Edit the AI output to match your voice, add personal examples, and cut anything that sounds generic.

This workflow produces content that sounds like you, not like ChatGPT. See the Free Writing Warmup for the morning writing practice that feeds into this system.
