How to turn off AI in Google Docs: step‑by‑step guide

Google Docs has rolled out the Gemini writing assistant, but many users find the constant suggestions intrusive. If you want to turn off AI in Google Docs, follow these concise steps. First, open a document and click the Tools menu. From the dropdown, select Preferences, then locate the “Enable Gemini suggestions” toggle and switch it off. Alternatively, you can disable the feature globally via your Google account settings: go to My Account, choose “Data & personalization,” scroll to “AI features,” and turn off “Gemini in Docs.” After saving, the pop‑ups disappear instantly.

“The option is buried, but it’s there,” notes a Google spokesperson to Reuters.
