Dear Proton Community and Development Team,

We propose a restructuring of Proton Lumo's Free and Plus tiers to maximize user acquisition, engagement, and the demonstration of Lumo's powerful capabilities, while still maintaining Proton's commitment to privacy and sustainable growth. The current free tier's strict weekly query limit, while understandable for resource management, can hinder broad adoption and prevent users from fully experiencing the potential of Lumo.

Our proposal is as follows:
1. Lumo Free Tier Enhancement:
* Unlimited Access to an Efficient AI Model: This would provide users with a robust, always-available AI for everyday tasks such as quick questions, brainstorming, simple content generation (e.g., drafting emails, social media posts), and basic information retrieval. This "efficient" model would prioritize speed and cost-effectiveness, making Lumo a truly reliable and consistent tool for daily, non-intensive AI interactions.
* Limited Access to a Powerful AI Model (Reasoning, Math, Code, Complex Analysis): To allow free users to experience the cutting-edge capabilities of Lumo's more advanced models, we propose offering a limited quota for these "powerful" models. This limited access could be, for example, a specific number of queries per day/week, or a total token count. This "taste" of the powerful AI would be invaluable for showcasing its potential for complex problem-solving, detailed analysis, coding assistance, and advanced reasoning, thereby creating a compelling reason to upgrade.

1. Lumo Plus/Pro Tier:

• Unlimited Access to All Models (Efficient and Powerful): The premium tier would offer completely unrestricted access to both the efficient and powerful AI models. This would cater to power users, professionals, and developers who require seamless, high-volume access to Lumo's full range of capabilities for their critical and demanding tasks. This tier would retain all current Lumo Plus benefits, such as extended history, file uploads, and prioritized support, ensuring a comprehensive premium experience.

Justification and Benefits:
* Increased User Acquisition & Engagement: An "unlimited efficient" free tier would significantly lower the barrier to entry, encouraging more users to adopt Lumo for their daily AI needs, making it a staple tool.
* Effective Upsell Strategy: By offering a direct, hands-on experience with the "powerful" AI models (even if limited) in the free tier, users can concretely see the value of upgrading to Lumo Plus for unlimited, high-performance capabilities. This shifts the upgrade incentive from "lifting a restriction" to "unlocking greater power."
* Demonstration of Value: This model clearly differentiates the utility of various AI models, educating users on when to use a quick, efficient model versus a deep, powerful one.
* Alignment with Proton's Mission: By offering a highly functional free tier, Proton reinforces its commitment to making privacy-focused tools accessible to everyone, while still maintaining a sustainable revenue model through the premium offering.
* Competitive Edge: This tiered approach could position Lumo more competitively against other AI services by providing a genuinely useful and less restrictive free option, especially for users prioritizing privacy.

We believe this proposed structure would greatly enhance the Lumo user experience, drive adoption, and clearly articulate the value proposition of Lumo Plus, strengthening Proton's position in the AI landscape.

Thank you for considering this proposal.
