Proton’s new privacy-first AI assistant encryps all chats, no logs

Privacy-centered productivity tool manufacturer Proton released its AI assistant on Wednesday, called Lumo, which says that this user prioritizes data safety.

The company says that the chatbot does not keep any log of your conversation, which has an end-to-end encryption to store the chat, and provides a ghost mode for conversation that disappears as soon as the window is closed.

Is available through Web customersas well as Android And IOS Apps, Lumo does not need to have an account to use a chatbot and ask questions. You can upload files to answer the chatbot about them, and if you have a proton drive account, you can connect it with Lumo to access the files stored in the cloud. While the chatbot has access to the web, it can not get the latest results if you use it to find it.

With the intention of clarifying the proton, it seems that its focus is on privacy. The company says that the lumo is based on the open-source model, and it will only depend on them for research and development without using user data to train its model. It was also stated that Lumo depends on zero-access encryption, an encryption method that also uses other proton products, users to store their conversation history, which can be declined on the device.

during this Blog post about lumoProton emphasized its European basis, saying that it gives the company a leg on AI companies located in the US and China when it comes to privacy.

“The Lumo is based on the Open-SOS language model and operates from the proton’s European datasters. It gives you a lot of transparency in the way Loomo works compared to any other major AI assistants. Unlike Apple Intelligence and others, Lumo Openi or other American or Chinese AI companies have no partnership with any third part, and your Quarry is never sent in any third part, and your Quarry is never sent in any third part, and you never have any third part, and you never have any third parts, Proton said.

This is not the first forest of the proton in the fast-developing AI Tools Space: last year, it rolled out an AI-managed writing assistant for its mail product that also runs on the user’s device.
