Memory or Knowledge Functionality for Lumo
Hi Proton Team,
First off, thank you for your continued innovation and focus on privacy. I’m really enjoying the direction you’re taking with Lumo AI!
I’d like to request a feature that would make Lumo even more valuable: the ability to remember past interactions, facts, or preferences—essentially a "memory" or "knowledge" functionality. This could allow Lumo to provide more personalized, helpful, and context-aware responses over time while respecting privacy and user control.
For example, Lumo could keep track of things I’ve told it (like my preferences or recurring topics across all the chats or within chat groups), so I don’t have to repeat myself in each session. Of course, privacy and transparency in how this information is stored and managed would be essential—perhaps along the lines of an opt-in, adjustable, and fully user-controlled memory.
I believe this feature would set Lumo apart and make it a truly indispensable assistant, all while upholding Proton’s values.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!
Best,
[A user eager for smarter and more helpful AI]

Guys, we should comment more on this suggestion to make it more visible to the Lumo team.

Being able to set some preferences would be very usefull to have.
There are certain things I need to repeat in conversations, like the locale I use in Excel. I can do this with
"Please format all Excel formulas using ; as the separator."
It would be usefull not to have to repeat this every time.A full memory of all conversations (as is stated in this Feature request) is maybe difficult to implement. But a more lightweight Feature for having some preferences saved should be easier I expect.

I know that this is a very complicated issue, and it's one of the reasons I switched to lumo. I didn't know *which* things chatgpt was keeping in memory. The only thing I can think of is to have a transparency screen or tab where you can actually see what is in the saved memory and delete anything you don't want lumo to remember (or delete everything if you like). Alternatively, it could be made into an affirmative feature where you have to open the "memory" tab and tell it what you want it to remember. I'm not a developer, so these may be untenable ideas, but as a frequent user who likes to explore the bounds of what is possible with AI, that is how I would be the ideal situation in terms of ease of use and transparency.

Yeah, even just quality of life stuff like remembering I live in a country using metric would save a lot of faff

Specifically a system prompt box like LM Studio Settings->Context

at this stage it feels like I have been speaking to somebody that has incredibly short-term memory. I just can't do it right now. In order for this to be the powerhouse that I know it can be. It needs to have the best of both worlds from Claude and ChatGPT to be honest. Between the memory and ability to remember the full conversation as it's happening and be able to just keep up with what's being said.

This is critical, but there are very effective strategies for doing this now. They are also very flexible. Documenting those would be an excellent idea. "Memory" and "Knowledge" are extremely difficult and hideously expensive for any LLM, and privacy requirements raise difficulty and price exponentially.

At least Lumo should have an option to save text about you. This will prevent Lumo from giving advice for other usage scenarios. For example, operating system/platform, location, language, etc.

I Iike this request and second it; there should be some UX controls to allow user control over the specific conversations and other additional information that Lumo accesses.
Proton's original and primary mission is privacy, and part of that involves intentional separation or compartmentalization of data. To break down those barriers to enable more functionality requires a careful entwining of soliciting 'informed consent' from the user, and automation features to keep consent from being a laborious, repetitive process.
I'm one of the holdout end-users that still at least skims most EULAs on new things I use, and in my view the balance is somewhere between a single click on "I agree to the Terms and Conditions [Which I probably didn't read]" and going through a dialog box for every single action that requires some kind of legal acknowledgement or consent.

Hello Proton Team,
Im requesting a feature that would greatly enhance everyone's experience with Lumo. Specifically, I would like to request the implementation of a persistent memory feature that allows the AI to remember previous interactions and discussions.
As a game developer, I often need to reference earlier conversations and discussions related to my project. Having a persistent memory feature would enable me to:
Reference Previous Discussions: Easily revisit and reference information from earlier conversations, which would be particularly useful for tracking project progress and decision-making.
Maintain Context: Keep track of the context of ongoing projects, ensuring that each new interaction builds upon the previous ones.
Improve Efficiency: Reduce the need to manually recreate or restate information that has already been discussed, saving time and increasing productivity.
Enhance Collaboration: Facilitate better collaboration with team members by having a shared record of discussions and decisions.
I believe that implementing persistent memory would significantly improve the usability of Lumo for users involved in long-term projects or those who need to maintain a continuous flow of information and context.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to seeing how this feature could be implemented in future updates.
