Proton just released Lumo, their new AI assistant with a cat mascot that promises end-to-end encryption and zero-access privacy. I've never used it before, so this is my first experience testing out its features including web search, comparisons to DuckAI, and Proton Drive integration. Let's see how it actually performs and whether Proton's privacy-first approach to AI is worth using. Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources. Discover how to protect your online data and regain control of your digital identity.
One follow up detail that people mentioned in the comments, would be great if Proton shared this in their docs: "Proton spokesperson Betsy Jones tells The Verge that the company also uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for data transmission and “asymmetrically” encrypts prompts, allowing only the Lumo GPU servers to decrypt them. “This ensures your queries and responses are secure during transit to GPU servers, only decrypted by the GPU when required, and that your saved chats are only accessible to you,” Jones says.
