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.
You must log in or # to comment.
WTF is proton doing? There’s still open issues with their basic products?

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.
Got to get on the slop train before it crashes
I cancelled my years old account a few days ago when I started to receive the damned “try our Xyz” popup bullshit on their website.
The bugs that are never fixed, the “new products” coming in no one asked, and not having a proper Linux support for the drive…
Can we talk about the marvelous idea that is the bridge? Gotta reinstall the certificate once a month or so.
I had enough of a subpar email service. If I want encrypted email, I’ll do it myself thank you.
Did you end up setting up encrypted email? I briefly looked into that but was talked out of it for various reasons (other email providers not trusting yours, security, uptime, etc.)
I do have Proton, but I’m heavily considering other options.
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.
If your encryption is not a layer on top of a messaging service, you have to trust that the service you’re using is actually end-to-end encrypted. I point this out because it means that encryption is not a protection against he service not doing what it says it does, but rather it is a protection against other things: passing data to governments, having a hacker break in and leak it, that kind of thing.
By storing stuff securely, it mitigates that problem, I guess. A government would have to have a “live tap” to know what you write to the LLM, rather than being able to slurp out all your historical conversations.
I didn’t see mention of it, but maybe they could use homomorphic encryption?
Exactly
Why is this down voted?
It is good to know that proton does this.
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.
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.
Thanks?
