We believe the benefits of AI are too great to miss, and the risks too serious to ignore. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, but the current iterations of AI reflect a failure to learn from the past. That’s why we built Lumo — a private AI assistant that only works for you, not the other way around. With no logs kept and every chat encrypted, Lumo keeps your conversations confidential and your data fully under your control — never shared, sold, or stolen.

You can start using Lumo today for free, even if you don’t have a Proton Account. Just go to lumo.proton.me and type in a query.

      Instead of two steps forward two steps back. Proton likes to take one step forward, punch it self in the face. Then roll a d20 on what to do next.

        Proton is company-personified of the engineer who loves working on new features, but hates fixing bugs. That’s how you get insane tech debt and unhappy customers.

    Why does Proton come off as a vapid American technology company that leverages privacy themed keywords in their PR copytext?

    I say this as someone who has been using their email services for many years (I am a subscriber too).

    I also don’t necessarily oppose a privacy focused cloud LLM from Proton. It’s more the tone of the blogpost, the misleading service comparison table under “Compare Lumo with other leading AI assistants” and where their priorities lie.

      Because people are mostly incapable of using the button as anything other than “I like this” or “I don’t like this”.

        Yeah, it’s a reasonably informative post, I’m glad I know about this new information and it’s on topic for this Com. So from that standpoint should be an upvote to support more posts like this here / from this OP.

        It makes me upset that Proton is doing this, but my downvotes won’t let them know about it.

        If it’s news I’m not interested in I could consider downvoting to discourage the topic, but I could more effectively put a Proton filter or an LLM filter on.

    How does chat encryption matter when it needs to be processed on their servers? It’s not like messaging where they just act as a middleman by sending a message from point A to point B, they’re actually having to process a query.

      I don’t understand it too, e2e encryption but the AI has to process the data somehow :L ???

      EDIT: If they refer to encryption as just encryption on message transport that’s just HTTPs, to verify that they are not saving your data, the backend source code needs to be available to analyze it.
