    Am I out of touch?

    a writing assistant was one of the most requested features in our recent survey

    Apparently, I am. People actually want this

    For Proton Mail, 59% of respondents want an easier way to send end-to-end encrypted emails to non-Proton users, while 29% want a writing assistant for proofreading, grammar, and composing emails.

    Nothing I hate more than not giving a link to the repo

    Scribe relies on open source code and models, and is itself open source and therefore available for independent security and privacy audits

    Not on their support page specifically for it either

    Had to got to Reddit and look at their comments to find out they’re using Mistral

    https://reddit.com/comments/1e68sof/comment/ldsbs24

    We built Scribe in r/ProtonMail using the open-source model Mistral AI to empower anyone in need of email productivity to use a privacy-respecting alternative to r/ChatGPT or r/GeminiAI that:
     ❌ doesn’t log or save prompts
     ⛔️ doesn’t use your data for training
     🔎 open-source code that anyone can inspect
     🖥️ can be run locally, so your data never leaves your device

    Hello, thanks for your interest and kind words! Unfortunately we’re unable to share details about the training and the datasets (extracted from the open Web) due to the highly competitive nature of the field. We appreciate your understanding!

      Thank you for recognizing this. It gets quite frustrating in threads like these about new AI tools being deployed when people declare “nobody wants this!” And I try to explain that there are actually people that do want it. I find many AI tools to be quite handy.

      I tend to get vigorously downvoted at that point, as if that would make the demand “go away” somehow. But sticking heads in sand doesn’t accomplish anything except to make people increasingly out of touch.

    We should be appreciating open-source AI. If you stay in one place, you can’t grow.
