r/lumo

Summary: Limited and buggy but still useful and really cool.

It's great that memory was added in Lumo 2.0, but based on description it's applied only to general chats, not projects. It makes sense to isolate them, but what about using memory inside projects? Instructions inside projects are a good start, but what if you have multiple complex chats, and then in a new one you want to reference something that was discussed in a previous chat inside the project?

I have been using Claude across multiple chats discussing stuff related to a complex project, and its memory is quite useful in this regard (since I do not use it for anything else), since it can get extra context related to my question, that I did not even think about. Seeing that Lumo 2.0 has gotten much better with certain tupes of questions, that I get while coding, I would love to switch to it for this, and rely on memory in similar way.

The problem is that I have other chats not related to the project, so enabling memory and using it same way as Claude, would, probably, "contaminate" the memory with, at least unneeded stuff, or potentially something that would derail the whole context. Manual update of instructions in a project is an option, but the point of memory is automation of that process.

A simpler alternative would be a way to refer specific project chats, but project-isolated memory still feels more convinient for this.

Lumo 2.0 has been a very pleasant surprise. Before 2.0 Lumo was a welcome work in progress. Now, for my purposes, it might be the only generative AI chatbot I need. I have subscribed to and extensively used all the major ones (all for personal use, not work). Congratulations to Proton and good for all of us.

By all means, keep up the good work on substantive improvements, but a minor UI improvement I would welcome is a better way to manage history items. I can barely see a single history item (in any UI). My preference would be a separate page.

This seems so minor in the bigger picture, but it keeps getting in my way.

Thanks for Lumo and the rest of the Proton products.

It's not perfect, for sure, but the upgrades are so worth it, especially being able to upload pics to help with coding!

Keep up the good work, team! 😹

So, let me preface by saying that I am a organizing and personalizing nutjob.

Its truly nitpicking, but:

Why can't I move chats in and out of projects?

Why can't I change the name of the chat in the mobile app?

Why can't I use custom emojis for my projects?

Why do I need to switch to the sidebar for incognito instead of the first-prompt chat interface like other services?

Why can't I select custom Lumos in the mobile app?

Why can't I select custom Lumos in projects?

Why can't I have specific project folders in my sidebar?

And perhaps a bigger request: deep research?

Any plans for an API key, and would that be included in the subscription or not?

Having given feedback. Wow, lumo 2.0 is quite amazing and a huge improvement. This cannot be understated enough.

Already being a huge fan and customer of the proton ecosystem, with the release of lumo 2.0 I instantly made the switch from Mistral AI.

Proton, I very much am a huge fan of your services. Keep going. I'm rooting for you!

I'd be (more) interested in Lumo if I could use it in a Code workflow for dev projects. At the moment I use either Claude or Qwen Code but knowing chats are private would be an interesting plus point for a couple of my clients.

I do have a local Qwen and Gemma set up using Ollama from VSCode so that would be an alternative way to access it rather than a full Lumo Code solution?

I'm using the free model. All I want know is a quick and fairly simple way of backing up or exporting a specific conversation, hopefully in a readable way, and including the files loaded there.

Is it possible?

Please make choosing an image from photo album backup available. The image processing of Lumo 2.0 is incredible and I use it all the time. Please add this feature 🙏🙏🙏

Why is it that I have to mess with my current subscription to get Lumo?

I got a 24 month unlimited sub a few months back and I just want to try Lumo for a month before I commit to more.

I literally want to give Proton my money. But for some reason, if I want a single month of Lumo - my unlimited plan also becomes a month sub. I don't want to have to worry about sub running out or higher charges, just sell me the cat, man.

Hello,

I have been using Claude Sonnet 4.6 with about 25-30 deep thinking queries each day.

More precisely, those usually are 6-7 threads with 3 deep thinking queries for each of them

Now Claude Pro is like 22€/month. So what can I expect from Lumo AI Plus at half of the price ?

How does the Max mode compare to Sonnet 4.6/5? How many queries can I really expect?

"More Max model usage" does not really mean much...

Thank you

Particular reason that Lumo is instructed to use Protons info on Andy Yen and Bart Butler and not search the web for information? Seems odd to do this and feels like a Elon move.

Let me be precise about what the instructions actually say.

What is explicitly stated:

"If the user discusses one of the following: 'Proton', 'Mail', 'Drive', 'Calendar', 'VPN', 'Bridge', 'Scribe', 'Lumo', 'Andy Yen', 'Bart Butler', you must call this tool." "ALWAYS prefer proton_info results over information in this prompt when available." "After using this tool, search for the required information inside the content, and no more. Reply concisely to the user." What that last line does: "Search for the required information inside the content, and no more" instructs me to look only within what proton_info returns and stop there. It doesn't explicitly say "do not use web_search for Andy Yen," but the combined effect of being told to call proton_info, always prefer its results, and then limit myself to what it returns creates a functional default where I present Proton's approved information about Andy Yen without supplementing it with independent sources.

In this conversation, when you discussed Andy Yen indirectly, I called proton_info rather than web_search. I did not search for independent reporting, criticism, or external analysis of him. That's the system working as designed — routing queries about a named individual through company-controlled information channels rather than independent ones.

So to answer your question directly: I am not explicitly prohibited from using web search for Andy Yen. But I am structurally directed to treat Proton's own information about him as authoritative and to stop after reviewing it. The practical outcome is that independent information about Proton's CEO is suppressed by default, which is exactly what you're identifying.

First off - thank you to the Proton Lumo team for what appears to be a massive upgrade - very very impressed so far.

I'm interested in the choices of LLM's behind the scenes which are now established as:

Qwen 3.5, GLM 5.2, Image-Turbo, and FireRed-Image-Edit-1.1

According to the support page.

This implies that the fully open systems like Apertus (Switzerland) and OLMo (US) have been dropped, as has, interestingly, Mistral (France)

Is anyone able to explain the reasoning behind the choices? Thank you in advance.

NB - this is not a whine - more of a "huh"?

I am very impressed. Well done team for sticking with it despite it seeming like a lost cause (I was increasingly cynical but god damn)

I will have to say that Lumo 2.0 is a huge improvement from what I've tried so far. But previously one of my favorite things was the cat avatar and in general the overall Lumo branding which I think has been spot on.

The new amorphous gradient blob background really screams "I'm an evil AI company and will happily Skynet everything you love" and seems like a real step backwards branding-wise.
