Proton Lumo

Lumo is an AI chat assistant built by the team behind Proton Mail and Proton Drive. Its core promise is simple: your conversations stay yours. Every chat is stored with zero-access encryption, meaning not even Proton can read what you've asked. No logs, no ad targeting, no data sold to third parties.

Most popular AI chat alternatives collect and retain your messages, often using them to train future models or serve targeted ads. Lumo's open-source code lets anyone verify that it doesn't. You can also use it anonymously via Tor without creating an account.

Based in Switzerland and subject to GDPR, Lumo sits outside US jurisdiction and Big Tech infrastructure. You can delete your account at any time, and Proton cannot share your data with governments or advertisers even if asked.

What Lumo can do day-to-day:

• Image generation: Turn text descriptions into images, with iterative refinement. Your inputs aren't reused to train the model.
• Web search: Built-in real-time search for current information, without queries being tied to an ad profile.
• Document analysis: Upload confidential reports or research and extract insights without that data appearing in future AI outputs.
• Project organization: Turn messy workloads into prioritized plans, handle sensitive admin tasks like visa or tax paperwork.
• Code review and file linking: Connect files from Proton Drive to work with full context across projects.
• Custom Lumos: Create specialized assistants for specific workflows (paid tier).

The free tier covers limited messages, image generations, and one project. Lumo Plus adds unlimited chats, higher model usage, more image generations, and unlimited projects. It's aimed at professionals and teams who handle sensitive information and can't afford to have that data harvested by the tools they rely on daily.
