Proton Scribe is a private writing assistant that Proton, a privacy-centered platform, has recently released. The writing assistant will be available on the website and desktop version of Proton Mail.
The writing assistant is designed to help users with composition and improving their drafts while also protecting user data and privacy. Currently, there are more than 50,000 businesses that use Proton for their security features.
Proton Scribe is built into Proton Mail where users can access the feature by clicking the pencil icon. Users can then type in a prompt after which the writing assistant will compose the draft. Options such as Shorten and Proofread improve the users’ drafts to make sure the content is grammatically correct and does not contain any typos. Furthermore, users can use the Formalise option which changes the tone of the content to be more appropriate for formal situations such as a business client email.
Proton Scribe: More on this new service
Scribe does not train on users’ content due to the zero-access encryption from Proton Mail. It is also based on open-source code and models. Additionally, Scribe is equipped with the company’s strong privacy policy which does not allow any new saves after the completion of the draft.
Proton has stated on its official website that Scribe is the ‘first mass-market’ AI tool that makes sure data does not leave users’ devices. This is because the service is based locally on users’ devices. Additionally, users can also revise and review the content before the email is sent.
To gain access to the writing assistant, users will have to pay an additional $2.99 a month. However, users subscribed to Proton’s other plans or legacies can access Scribe with no additional costs.
