    Update: Detailed Technical Proposal Attached

    Following up on my previous comment: I have prepared a full strategic technical proposal for the Proton Product team.

    It outlines exactly how to integrate Markzware's API to solve the October 2026 Microsoft Publisher crisis securely, including:

    The $15B+ market opportunity for Legal, Healthcare, and SMBs.
    The Zero-Knowledge architecture required for compliance.
    A 3-month roadmap to launch before the deadline.

    I hope this accelerates the review process. The clock is ticking!

    Lumo would be even more useful if Proton expanded file support in two ways.

    First, the basics should work smoothly for everyday users. Common screenshot and image uploads should be accepted reliably, and file extensions should be handled case-insensitively, so .png and .PNG are treated the same.

    Second, there is an opportunity for Lumo to support more complex, layout-rich business documents, not just simple text and standard office files. Currently, many AI tools still struggle with complex, layout-rich document types, which limits their usefulness for real-world business content. Expanding into this area would make Lumo more practical for real document workflows.

    This is becoming urgent: Microsoft is ending support for Publisher in October 2026. This creates an immediate crisis for millions of organizations (hospitals, law firms, schools) that hold decades of archives in .pub files.

    The Opportunity: By integrating specialized conversion tech (like Markzware's) now, Lumo can become the only privacy-first platform capable of saving these critical business archives before they become unreadable. This moves Lumo from a "chat tool" to a mission-critical continuity solution for the enterprise market.

    One possible way to address this would be to explore specialized document-conversion and structured-content extraction technology, including solutions from companies like Markzware, which work with formats such as Microsoft Publisher, Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress, Affinity Publisher, and PDF documents.

    That kind of capability could help Lumo move beyond basic chat uploads and toward becoming a more valuable privacy-focused workspace for analyzing, reusing, and understanding important legacy and document-based content.
