I'm still waiting for SimpleLogin to release the credit card # privacy product they were planning at the time Proton bought them, years ago.
I'd rather they just say they cancelled it if they did. Aside from their sporadic focus, the lack of transparency in their progress is killing me here.

We believe the benefits of AI are too great to miss, and the risks too serious to ignore. Whether we like it or not, AI is here to stay, but the current iterations of AI reflect a failure to learn from the past. That’s why we built Lumo — a private AI assistant that only works for you, not the other way around. With no logs kept and every chat encrypted, Lumo keeps your conversations confidential and your data fully under your control — never shared, sold, or stolen.
You can start using Lumo today for free, even if you don’t have a Proton Account. Just go to lumo.proton.me and type in a query.
Why does Proton come off as a vapid American technology company that leverages privacy themed keywords in their PR copytext?
I say this as someone who has been using their email services for many years (I am a subscriber too).
I also don't necessarily oppose a privacy focused cloud LLM from Proton. It's more the tone of the blogpost, the misleading service comparison table under "Compare Lumo with other leading AI assistants" and where their priorities lie.

I came so close to switching over to them at the start of the year. I was in the middle of planning that change, then their founder or CEO or whoever he is started going political. So I held off. And now just like everyone else they've jumped on the AI bandwagon.
Yeah. I swapped over to Proton in my degoogling process sometime in April last year. Not thrilled about their crypto/AI/Trumpy BS since.

HTTPS is end-to-end encryption when you talk to the server directly
You can virtually never know when you are talking directly to the server.

Lumo is based upon open-source language models
It seems they arent saying just yet.
Prompt: Is Lumo training data its own, or is it based of other preestablished data?
Response: "Lumo is powered by several open-source large language models (LLMs) that have been optimized by Proton. The models used include Nemo (Mistral), OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B (Allen Institute for AI), and Mistral Small 3 (Mistral). These models run exclusively on servers controlled by Proton, ensuring that all conversations remain private. Proton does not contribute any user data to the training of these models, maintaining a strong focus on user privacy."
This is what I got from Lumo. -
Proton keeps doing the wrong things. Ugh.
They think everybody still loves them. That ship has sailed years ago...

WTF is proton doing? There's still open issues with their basic products?
I cancelled my years old account a few days ago when I started to receive the damned "try our Xyz" popup bullshit on their website.
The bugs that are never fixed, the "new products" coming in no one asked, and not having a proper Linux support for the drive...
Can we talk about the marvelous idea that is the bridge? Gotta reinstall the certificate once a month or so.
I had enough of a subpar email service. If I want encrypted email, I'll do it myself thank you.

Got to get on the slop train before it crashes

How does chat encryption matter when it needs to be processed on their servers? It's not like messaging where they just act as a middleman by sending a message from point A to point B, they're actually having to process a query.
I didn't see mention of it, but maybe they could use homomorphic encryption?

Did you end up setting up encrypted email? I briefly looked into that but was talked out of it for various reasons (other email providers not trusting yours, security, uptime, etc.)
I do have Proton, but I'm heavily considering other options.

We still don't have Proton Drive on Linux, and they think we give a flying fuck about some god damn AI chatbot slop machine?
