Lumo, Proton’s privacy-focused AI chatbot, gets an upgrade

TechCrunch
Proton has upgraded its privacy-focused AI chatbot, Lumo, adding image processing, persistent memory for projects, and a faster, more capable thinking mode.

Summary

Proton has launched Lumo 2.0, a significant update to its privacy-centric AI chatbot. Key enhancements include new image recognition and generation capabilities, as well as persistent memory for the Projects widget, which allows the AI to recall user preferences across sessions. The update also introduces a new "thinking mode" for complex queries and offers a 76 percent performance increase over the previous version.

Despite these performance upgrades, Proton emphasizes that Lumo remains distinguished by its commitment to privacy. The platform utilizes zero-access encryption and does not retain server-side logs, ensuring that conversation contents remain inaccessible to the company. Proton further guarantees that user data is neither shared with third parties nor used for training AI models. Lumo 2.0 is available now, with both free and paid subscription tiers.
