Proton’s just launched a ChatGPT rival with a focus on privacy

Could this be the privacy-focused version of ChatGPT? - (Proton/The Independent)

There’s a glut of generative AI assistants across the internet. Almost all are powered by large language models that are trained on your conversations. Now, Swiss privacy company Proton is promising a more private alternative.

The company, better known for its secure email and VPN service, is now expanding into AI with Lumo, a new assistant launching today. Like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, it’s designed to help with everyday tasks, including rewriting emails, summarising documents and reviewing code, but with a difference. Proton says it doesn’t log, store or train its models on your prompts or chats.
