Lumo

Proton's privacy-first AI assistant with encrypted, unlogged chats

AI Chat & Assistant Free plan Paid from Plus $12.99 per month Web App, iOS, Android

Lumo is Proton’s answer to privacy-hostile AI chat: conversations are not logged or used for model training, history is encrypted with zero-access design, and the whole thing comes from the Swiss company behind Proton Mail. For legal, medical or simply private questions, it offers the same assistant convenience without feeding an advertising profile.

The free plan covers limited weekly usage with no card required; Lumo Plus costs $12.99 per month ($9.99 per month billed annually at $119.88) and unlocks more models, higher limits and file uploads. If you already trust Proton for mail or VPN, Lumo Plus slots into the same privacy stack – a differentiated position ChatGPT and Gemini deliberately do not occupy.

Key Features

  • No-logs, no-training privacy policy
  • Encrypted chat history (zero-access)
  • Run by Proton (Swiss jurisdiction)
  • File uploads and analysis on Plus
  • Free weekly usage
  • Web, iOS and Android apps

Pros

  • Privacy guarantees no mainstream rival matches
  • Annual Plus drops to $9.99 per month
  • Free tier for occasional private questions

Cons

  • Model breadth behind ChatGPT and Claude
  • No live web search yet
  • Weekly caps on the free plan

Our Verdict

The assistant to switch to for anything you would not want in an ad profile - annual Plus at $9.99 is cheap insurance alongside your existing Proton plan.
