In a world where generative AI is booming, a new player is stepping into the spotlight — Proton, the company behind ProtonMail and ProtonDrive, just launched Lumo, a privacy-first AI assistant. And it’s here to challenge the norms set by Big Tech.
While most AI tools today are powered by massive, opaque models that rely heavily on user data, Lumo offers a refreshing, ethical, and privacy-respecting alternative — built in Europe, and fully transparent.
Truly Private AI — No Tracking, No Logging
Unlike ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini, Lumo doesn’t require an account to use. No sign-up, no tracking cookies, no session logs. Just go to lumo.proton.me and start chatting.
Proton promises:
No chat data is saved or logged
Your prompts are never used to train the AI
There’s no analytics or profiling
Hosted and developed in Europe, fully GDPR-compliant
Open-source code, open for audit
And if you’re privacy-conscious (or even just privacy-curious), you’ll appreciate this transparency: Lumo’s codebase is inspectable, unlike most other chatbots.
