Data Under Protection - What Makes the New AI Assistant from Proton Unique.

Proton Introduced Lumo, an AI Assistant

Swiss company Proton, known for its secure email and VPN services, has launched a new player in the artificial intelligence market called Lumo. This assistant stands out for its privacy, not storing chat logs and not sharing data with third parties.

Privacy and Encryption in Lumo

Proton focuses on security, anonymity, and user control. Features of Lumo include no logs, a 'ghost mode', no mandatory account creation, usage of open source code, and encryption accessible only to the user.

Functionality and Limitations of Lumo

Lumo is available in a web interface and apps for iOS and Android. It can answer questions, analyze documents, generate text, and even write code. However, Lumo has limitations, including the disabled search function that needs to be activated manually.

Open Source Models in Lumo

• Lumo utilizes several open AI models for different types of queries.
• The assistant automatically selects the appropriate model for each request using artificial intelligence.

Comparison with Other AI Assistants

Lumo differs from other assistants, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, guaranteeing privacy and no retention of user data for model improvement.

The Future of Lumo Assistant

Proton plans to strengthen the integration of Lumo into its ecosystem, including email, VPN, and cloud storage. There are plans for developing local model training for the assistant to operate without internet access.
