Product vision: Transforming Lumo from a "Chatbot" into a fully integrated work assistant
Description: I propose a roadmap to evolve Lumo from a simple chatbot into a true integrated work assistant. Here are 6 priority axes:
- Modern & friendly desktop app (macOS/Windows/Linux)
Need: The web interface is functional but lacks native fluidity.
Request: A native desktop app (built with Electron/Tauri) featuring:
Clean, modern UI/UX design inspired by current standards (e.g., Linear, Raycast).
Global keyboard shortcuts to open a quick floating window.
Native voice input (dictation) for hands-free idea capture.
macOS Widget for instant access.
- "Artifacts-like" feature (visual workspace)
Need: Text-only output is limiting for visualizing data, code, or structures.
Request: A dedicated side panel or modal window that:
Displays results (tables, diagrams, code, mockups) interactively.
Allows live editing (e.g., modifying a generated table without retyping everything).
Easily exports to Proton Docs/Sheets.
- Plugin & connector ecosystem (European sovereignty)
Need: Connect Lumo to my tools without sending data to US tech giants.
Request: A plugin marketplace enabling integration with EU/EFTA and Privacy-First alternatives:
Project Management: OpenProject, Taiga, Focalboard (instead of Asana/Jira).
Design/Creation: Penpot, GIMP, Krita (instead of Canva/Adobe).
Cloud/Collaboration: Nextcloud, Collabora, OnlyOffice (instead of Google/Microsoft).
Communication: Element, Mattermost (instead of Slack/Teams).
Imperative Criterion: All connectors must respect End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) or use secure APIs.
- Persistent & personalized contextual memory
Need: Stop repeating my context (profile, preferences, goals) in every session.
Request:
An encrypted user profile storing my preferences, communication style, and contextual data.
Long-term memory that transparently links conversations together (via Projects).
- Deep synchronization within the Proton ecosystem
Need: Ensure Lumo is not an isolated silo.
Request:
Calendar: Create events directly from the chat into Proton Calendar.
Drive/Docs: Automatically save results to specific folders in Proton Drive.
Mail: Generate email drafts ready to send via Proton Mail.
Pass: Generate complex passwords or auto-fill forms via Proton Pass.
- "Presentation" Integration (PowerPoint-like)
Need: Create training materials (slides) without leaving the ecosystem.
Request:
A "Presentation" module within Proton (e.g., Proton Slides or deep integration in Docs).
Ability for Lumo to generate a complete presentation structure (titles, bullet points, visual suggestions) and format it directly in this tool.
Export to .pptx for external compatibility.
Strategic Value: These features would differentiate Proton by offering a sovereign, privacy-first AI workflow that rivals major US competitors while strictly adhering to European data protection standards (GDPR). This would significantly increase user retention and trust among professionals and institutions.
Thank you for considering these suggestions to improve Lumo.
