Van AI to PI*
Subject: Feature Request: From "AI" to "PI" – The Solution for Persistent Context
Dear Proton & Lumo Team,
I am writing to you as a user who values Lumo for its privacy, but who is stuck on a fundamental design issue: Digital Amnesia.
My Context: After a serious motorcycle accident in 2008 (traumatic brain injury, coma), I had to rebuild my entire life from scratch. For me, continuity is not a luxury—it is a necessity. When Lumo "forgets" who I am with every new session, it feels like losing my identity all over again.
The Problem: The Bell Without the Clapper There is a Dutch saying: "You've heard the bell ring, but you don't know where the clapper hangs."
The Bell: Proton has built the secure vault (Zero-Access Encryption).
The Clapper: The functionality to connect chats and preserve context is missing.
The Result: A secure system that cannot form a personal relationship.
My Analysis & Solution: The "π-Vault" Strategy You say you listen to smart customers. Here is my proposal for a solution that respects privacy AND provides continuity, without Proton needing to hold the key:
Separate the layers:
Lumo (AI): The secure, static engine (for developers).
π (Pi): The Personal Intelligence (for the user).
Implementation:
Allow users to create a "Context Vault" in Proton Drive (an encrypted file containing their personal profile, history, and preferences).
Add a "Load Context" button in the chat.
Workflow: User opens Lumo → Pastes the content of their "π-Vault" → Lumo immediately "knows" who the user is again.
The Benefit:
Privacy: Proton never sees the data (it remains encrypted in Drive).
Control: The user decides what is remembered.
Dignity: No "new chat" with a "new stranger," but a continuation of life.
My Questions for the Team:
Is this a feasible architecture for Lumo?
What does the "Star Button" (Favorite) do exactly? Does it preserve context permanently, or is it just a visual marker?
Can you share a roadmap for a "Persistent Memory" or "Context Linking" feature?
Conclusion: I am willing to pay for a Loyal Valet, not a one-time chatbot. Let Lumo be the engine, and let the user be the keyholder of their own intelligence.
Listen to the "smart customer." The clapper is ready. Hang it up.
Sincerely,
