The data from your mailbox cannot be used to train Scribe, according to Proton.
There is a new feature introduced by Proton Mail that is powered by artificial intelligence, and it has the potential to help it compete with the artificial intelligence capabilities that Google and Microsoft offer for their email services. You may produce and clean up your drafts with the assistance of Proton Scribe, which is an artificial intelligence writing aid. In order to protect your privacy, Scribe was developed with the intention of preventing the assistant from learning from your inbox data. This is because Proton Mail uses a zero-access encryption method. Additionally, Proton does not save or log anything that is contained within your email drafts.
According to the results of a recent user survey conducted by Proton, a writing helper was one of the things that was desired the most. With the intention of providing a safe alternative to other generative AI possibilities, the business developed it. In the event that your computer is compatible, Scribe can be executed locally. If that is not the case, you can use the no-log servers provided by Proton. The assistant is driven by models and code that are completely open-source. As a result, Proton asserts that the tool itself is open-source and that independent researchers are free to conduct audits of the program’s privacy and security.
You may access Scribe by clicking the pencil symbol that is located within the Proton Mail composer environment. Once you have provided the tool with the information that you wish to convey in an email, it will generate a draft for you. Within your draft, you will have the ability to condense and tidy it up by utilizing the Shorten and Proofread choices. In addition, you have the ability to make the tone of your email more official by simply clicking a checkbox. You are able to go back and make changes to your drafts before sending them out.
The assistant is currently being made available to users who are eligible, according to Proton, and Scribe is currently only completely supporting English. Subscriptions to Visionary and Lifetime will not incur any additional fees in order to gain access. Proton Scribe is available for free for a period of fourteen days to users who are subscribed to a Proton Business plan, such as Mail Essentials, Mail Professional, or Proton Business Suite. From that point forward, the tool will cost $3 per month for each user.
