Use DeepSeek R1 Model for Proton Mail AI (Summarize, Spam Detection, Drafting, etc.)
Google is making moves with Gemini by integrating it in their entire workspace suite, making Google tools so much more productive again.
It's time that privacy-oriented solutions don't just follow the lead of traditional companies but doing everything after them, but it's time to actually build something better and pioneer a field.
The field of AI assistance in productivity tools is very new and most AI models, especially open source ones, weren't that great but this has changed now.
Since DeepSeek just released their R1 Model which is open source and can be hosted locally, it would be great for all kinds of Proton tools, for example Proton Mail → Summarize, Spam Detection, Drafting, etc.
Please make Proton not only on par with Google Workspace but actually better by integrating the most powerful LLM into it.
Deepseek R1 is on par with GPT-o1 and ~96% cheaper. It's even cheaper than Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It's a no-brainer to have this baked into productivity tools IMO.

Robin, have you read DeepSeek's privacy and terms of use policy? Do you understand that the suggestion you gave not only violates the very principle and motives of Proton but violates the very idea of privacy or security in any sense of the words?
Proton is already taking steps to implement secure, private AI features where possible. But DeepSeek is the single most non-private and unsecure AI tool to date. Their privacy policy is absurd, with every single thing you do on your device, from keystrokes to files, being sent directly to chinese servers.
Proton already made their stance on DeepSeek. They are against even you using DeepSeek, let alone Proton implementing it or letting it anywhere near their products.
