Dear Proton Team,

As you may recall, I previously highlighted the cost barrier for deaf or hard-of-hearing users; this proposal builds on that by focusing on functional, hands-free AI accessibility.

I would like to propose a solution that allows users like myself to interact with AI-driven features entirely through conversation or text commands, without needing to manually adjust settings, navigate menus, or configure workflows. Specifically, I would like the AI to:

• Automatically create, organize, and manage tasks or outputs based on instructions.
• Handle repetitive or complex actions efficiently.
• Deliver notifications, summaries, or insights without requiring direct interaction with the app interface.

Benefits:
1. Independence and usability: Users can focus on outcomes rather than technical configurations.
2. Efficiency: Hands-free automation reduces friction and streamlines workflow.
3. Real-world insights for Proton: Observing these AI interactions provides feedback to improve accessibility and usability for the deaf or hard-of-hearing community.

Collaboration Plan:
• I can share anonymized logs of my interactions (fully end-to-end encrypted) over a four-week pilot.
• Testing can occur using Proton’s existing workflow API or a sandbox environment, ensuring my workflow remains fully under my control.

Privacy Assurance:

All data processing would remain end-to-end encrypted and adhere strictly to Proton’s security standards.

Next Steps:

What do you, partners, think about feasibility and potential collaboration?

Thank you for considering this proposal. I hope Proton can help make AI features more truly hands-free and user-driven for deaf or hard-of-hearing users.
