Proton Releases Lumo 2.0, Expanding Privacy‑Focused Chatbot Features
Summary
- Proton, the privacy‑email company, is launching Lumo 2.0 this week.
- The new version adds more functions like note‑taking, calendar help, and file search.
- It keeps Proton’s strong privacy promise, using local data storage and no external model training.
- Users can interact with Lumo directly from ProtonMail, ProtonVPN, and other Proton apps.
- The upgrade aims to make everyday tasks easier while keeping personal data safe.
Why It Matters
- A growing number of people rely on AI to draft emails, schedule meetings, or manage documents.
- With Lumo 2.0, those tasks can stay inside a privacy‑first ecosystem, reducing the risk of data leaks.
- This shows how privacy‑focused companies are competing with big AI brands by offering safer alternatives.
