Proton’s First AI Assistant AI is encrypted all conversations, does not maintain logs

The productivity tools manufacturer focusing on privacy protection, Wednesday released AI’s assistant, called Lumo, which says it gives priority to protecting users’ data.

The company says Chatbot does not maintain records of your conversations, has end -to -end encryption for storage and offers a ghost feature feature function that disappear as soon as you close the window.

Available through a web customeras well as Android and iOS Applications, Lumo does not require you to have an account to use Chatbot and ask questions. You can upload files to answer Chatbot to questions about them and if you have a Drive Proton account, you can connect it to Lumo to access files stored in the cloud. While chatbot has access to the web, you may not find the last results if you use it to search.

Proton seems to be intention to make it clear that its focus is on privacy. The company says that Lumo is based on open source models and will only depend on the research and development it progresses without using user data to train its models. He also said that Lumo is based on zero encryption, a encryption method used and other proton products to allow users to store their conversation history, which can be deciphered on the device.

Throughout the time of Blog Post for LumoProton stressed its European base, saying it gives the company a foot over the US and China -based AI companies when it comes to privacy.

“Lumo is based on open source language models and operates by Proton’s European centers. This gives you much more transparency in the way Lumo works by any other important AI assistant.

This is not Proton’s first invasion of the rapidly growing AI toolfall: last year, disrupted a writing assistant powered by AI for its mail product, which also works on the user’s device.
