Proton Lumo – Free Private AI Chat (No Logs, No Drama)

:world_map: One‑Line Flow: Open → Ask → Evaporate (with encryption).


:warning: lazy? – What Even Is This?

  • It’s an AI chatbot from Proton (yep, the email guys).
  • 100 chats/week free, zero-access encryption.
  • Guest mode = no login, no saves, just ask and vanish.
  • Runs only on Proton‑owned EU servers, no third-party clouds.
  • Not trained on your data. Not even their team can read your stuff. [paranoia-approved]

:man_detective: 1% Tricks They Won’t Mention on Ads

  • Stack the free chats:

    1. Hit 100/wk limit? Switch to Guest → boom, 25 more.
    2. Hit Guest cap? New browser, new IP, maybe more. [hypothetically speaking :skull:]
  • Ghost Mode toggle:
    Chat like a ninja. Your convo is gone once you leave.
    Even when logged in.

  • Use Proton Drive for uploads:
    Send your sensitive file → ask Lumo to analyze it = encrypted in + out.

  • Already on Proton Visionary plan?
    Surprise bonus: Lumo Plus = included. Free ride.


:hammer_and_wrench: Quick‑Start (First 60 Seconds)

  1. Go to: https://lumo.proton.me
  2. Try a few prompts in Guest (no login).
  3. Want chat history? Sign in with your Proton Mail.
  4. Need mobile? App Store / Google Play → “Lumo by Proton”

:firecracker: Warnings

  • Guest chats = poof. Nothing saved. Not even your weird typo.
  • No file upload in Guest mode. Sign-in needed for attachments.
  • Models are open-source, so answers may differ vs OpenAI/Claude.
  • No jailbreaks, no hallucinations playground. It plays clean. Like… too clean.

:light_bulb: Reality Check

  • Not ChatGPT-fast. It sips tea between answers.
  • Doesn’t make up wild stuff just to look smart.
  • Translation, summaries, privacy research = great. Coding? Meh.

:brain: Models Inside (For Nerds)

  • Mistral Small 3, OLMo 2 32B, Nemo, OpenHands 32B
  • Everything routed via Proton’s EU-only servers
  • No Google, no Azure, no AWS peeking through the blinds

:receipt: Output Example

“Summarize this legal PDF in 5 bullet points.”

Lumo:
– This clause allows company X to spy on users.
– This clause tries to hide that.
– This clause says “trust us.”
– This one removes liability.
– This one basically goes “surprise, you’re the product.”


:magic_wand: Final Thought

If ChatGPT is the class clown, Lumo is the privacy kid eating lunch behind a VPN.
He’s quiet. He’s smart. He deletes everything. Probably encrypts his diary.
Use it when you want your questions to disappear like your social energy at a party.
