Description
Proton Scribe is a writing assistant designed to enhance email composition within Proton Mail. Emphasizing privacy, it allows users to draft and refine emails without compromising data security. Proton Scribe can operate in two modes: server-side and local. The server-side mode runs on Proton's secure servers, offering faster performance and support for multiple languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese. In contrast, the local mode runs directly on the user's device, ensuring that data never leaves the device, although it is limited to English.

Users can also provide feedback on the generated drafts to help improve the tool.
