I'm concerned that the privacy-first nature of proton will cause it to lag behind privacy-backward competitors and create relative friction in the UX which becomes a real burden.

With a secure LLM operating on your own servers this doesn't have to be the case.

You guys could implement a sufficiently constrained implementation with your in-house LLM which can pre-emptively offer very smart AI actions for those of us who don't mind it running on your servers (this is a compromise I'd be willing to make for the functionality, and lesser functionality could be offered to those who aren't).

I'm imagining pre-drafted responses, 'add to calendar', 'add reminder', 'create task' triage options similar to that which has been implemented in Gemini's interactive surfaces. It would put the value of your LLM add-on through the roof, and would ensure ProtonMail continues to be relevant in the AI age. **** it's a short step from that to a full privacy-first default e2e encrypted LLM layer over the full proton stack.

Just my 2C, reach out if you want to discuss technical elements.
