Lumo gets an API and desktop app

Lumo, an AI assistant developed by the Swiss company Proton, will soon offer an API and a desktop application, as announced in Proton's roadmap on October 15. These updates will allow Lumo to be integrated into other software and accessed directly from a computer.

API enables software integration

The API will allow Lumo to be embedded into other programs, similar to how major AI models like OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude are used. This integration will let users automate tasks such as sorting data, analyzing documents, or replying to emails, all while keeping data private.

Privacy remains a key focus

Proton emphasizes that Lumo's API will operate under strict privacy protections, including zero-access encryption and no data retention. This means that even when integrated into other software, personal data will not be stored or accessed by Proton.

Desktop app delayed for improvements

Proton had initially planned to release a desktop application earlier in the year but postponed it to focus on Lumo 2.0. The new desktop app is expected to offer faster and more convenient access to Lumo, though specific features have not yet been detailed.

Mobile apps to get a redesign

In addition, Proton is updating its Lumo mobile applications for iOS and Android to improve performance and reliability. The company views these updates as a foundation for future enhancements but has not provided exact release dates or pricing for the API.
