Dear Proton Community and Development Team,

I would like to suggest improvements to Lumo’s user interface and overall user experience so that it feels smoother, more consistent, and better suited for daily use.

Privacy and security are very important, and this is one of the main reasons why many users are interested in Proton products. However, for an AI assistant to become part of everyday work, it also needs to feel fast, polished, intuitive, and enjoyable to use.

My request is specifically about improving the interaction design and visual consistency of Lumo.

Suggested improvements:

1. More responsive UI interactions
   Buttons, menus, input fields, and other interactive elements should provide clearer visual feedback when users hover, click, tap, open panels, or send messages.

2. Smoother animations
   New messages, loading states, chat transitions, and opening or closing panels could feel more natural with subtle, polished animations.

3. More consistent spacing, borders, and layout
   Some UI elements feel small or visually inconsistent. A more unified design system with consistent spacing, rounded corners, and clearer hierarchy would make Lumo feel more refined.

4. More polished visual design
   A cleaner design language, possibly using soft rounded “squircle” shapes and subtle glass-like surfaces, could make the interface feel more modern while still remaining simple and professional. Dark and light modes are enough, but both should feel carefully designed and visually balanced.

5. More personality in the Lumo brand elements
   The Lumo cat or logo could become slightly more interactive or reactive, for example during loading, idle states, or successful actions. This should remain subtle and professional, but it could make the product feel more alive and memorable.

6. Better personalization inside Lumo
   It would be useful to allow users to upload files or reference material directly inside Lumo for personalization, similar to project-based workflows in other AI tools. This would reduce the need to paste very long texts manually.

Why this matters:

A secure AI assistant is valuable, but security alone is not enough for daily adoption. If the product feels too static, too small, or not responsive enough, users are less likely to use it regularly. A smoother and more consistent interface would make Lumo feel more mature, trustworthy, and pleasant to use.

This request is not about adding unnecessary visual effects. It is about improving usability, consistency, responsiveness, and the overall feeling of quality.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.
