Proton has officially launched a major software update for its private artificial intelligence assistant. Lumo version 2.0 introduces several new tools for users, including the ability to generate images, remember past chats, and search the web with live results. The Swiss company built these features on a completely new architecture while maintaining its strict zero-access encryption standards to keep your data completely hidden from outside parties.
The update adds new visual tools and a thinking mode
The new version makes the assistant multimodal, meaning it can now handle both text and pictures. Users can upload images for analysis, edit existing photos, or create brand new visuals from simple text prompts. All of this image processing happens under the same strict privacy rules as regular text chats. The update also brings a new thinking mode designed for handling complex, multi-step problems that need more time to process.
If you like taking your tools on the go, the mobile app works great on the iPhone. It gives users a solid private alternative to the standard options found on those mobile devices.
The assistant now remembers context and searches the live web
Lumo 2.0 introduces a memory feature that lets the artificial intelligence learn your working style and preferences over time. You remain in control of what it retains and what it forgets. When you need current information, the tool can now perform private web searches. It pulls live results from the internet and provides clear source links so you can verify the answers yourself. You can read more about these specific changes on the official Lumo 2.0 announcement.
If you want to try the new version, the basic tier remains free for everyone. Users looking for unlimited chats and advanced image tools can pay for a Plus subscription. You can download the client directly from the App Store. This is good news for Apple fans who want better tools without giving up their personal privacy.
Proton’s latest upgrade proves that users do not have to choose between advanced artificial intelligence features and keeping their personal information secure online.
