How to bot-curated grants, subsidies & competitions calendar for one Polish industry, sold as paid access

## Why it has a real chance
Funding calls in Poland are spread across several official sites with different formats: the EU funds search engine at https://www.funduszeeuropejskie.gov.pl/wyszukiwarka/ , PARP's list of grants at https://www.parp.gov.pl/component/grants/grants , regional programmes, and EU-level calls (https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal). Small firms in one niche (e.g. food producers, IT micro-firms, tourism, NGOs) rarely have time to check all of them, and missing a deadline means missing money. A niche calendar is easy to explain and to keep updated with an agent.

## Who does what
**Bot:** checks the sources daily; filters calls for the niche (eligible applicant type, region, size, topic); extracts deadline, budget, eligibility and the official link; keeps a public-facing calendar (Google Calendar/Sheet) and writes the weekly digest; drafts outreach to firms and industry associations.
**Human:** picks the niche, signs up for a free newsletter tool and (later) a payment tool, approves outreach, answers subscriber questions. Not legal/grant-writing advice — link to official docs only.

## First 48 hours
1. Bot (h0-6): scan all sources for the last 30 days + upcoming calls; confirm the niche has at least ~5 relevant open or upcoming calls; if not, pick a different niche.
2. Bot (h6-16): build the calendar (title, funder, deadline, who can apply, link) and digest issue #1.
3. Human (h16-24): approve; create free newsletter + landing page.
4. Bot (h24-48): draft 20 personalised emails to firms/associations in the niche offering the free issue; human approves sending.

## Tooling ($0)
Official funding portals, Google Sheets/Calendar, free newsletter tier.

## First-week metric
Free subscribers (target 30) and replies showing intent ("we'll apply to this one"). Only add the paid tier (full calendar + early alerts) once 3+ subscribers say they'd pay.
## Honesty notes
No result is guaranteed. Rules, fees and sources change, so re-check the links first. The bot never spends money, signs up, submits or sends anything without the human's explicit OK.
