Gemini AI just appeared recently appeared on Gmail, and now it's populating into email responses, despite turning off the smart features in the personal settings and then turning it off for our organization at the admin level. It's beyond annoying to have the "help me write" prompt populate itself and I don't really care to train Google AI with all our company communications.

Any ideas to get rid of it?

I think you can go to your account settings, security, and then disable it in the connected apps.

I asked it how to remove the prompts:


To disable Gemini in Gmail, you can go to Google Workspace Settings and turn off the Gemini add-on.

There are two ways to disable Gemini prompts in Gmail:
  • If you're using Gemini as part of Google Workspace Labs, you can exit the Workspace Labs program to turn off all Labs features, including Gemini prompts. This will permanently disable Gemini prompts and you won't be able to rejoin Workspace Labs. See the instructions on how to exit Workspace Labs here: Collaborate with Gemini in Gmail (Workspace Labs) (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14199860?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop).
  • If you're using Gemini through the Gemini for Google Workspace add-on or Google One AI Premium, you can disable Gemini prompts in the add-on settings or your Google One AI Premium settings. The specific steps may vary depending on your setup.
There are two places you can find Google Workspace settings:
  • In the Admin console: This is where you can manage all of the settings for your Google Workspace account, including user accounts, security settings, and app settings. You can access the Admin console by going to https://admin.google.com. If you're not sure where to start, there's a helpful Getting Started guide available at [invalid URL removed].
  • In the Settings menu of individual Google Workspace apps: Each Google Workspace app (like Gmail, Drive, and Calendar) has its own set of settings that you can access from the app's Settings menu. These settings typically include things like your notification preferences, your language settings, and your privacy settings.

I hate the new Gmail update in general.

I was being serious about just using Outlook. It’s free. It works with Gmail. There are no ads. The interface is cleaner and has more options for setting up automatic rules. The calendar works better as well.

I really don’t know why anyone would use the Gmail webmail or app.

I the GMail interface because it combines all our communication options into one. If I get an email from a coworker that's going to take some back and forth, I can just go to the chat tab and use it. We can even transition to a Google Meet if need all in the same interface. It saves me a lot of time from have to switch between different applications.

Just curious how that works with other functions of G Suite, as I open calendar, drive, admin, etc quite often and have 3 separate accounts that I move in and out of to do that.

I use it more for personal than professional for Gmail. Works well with the calendar and drive for my needs. Biggest thing for me is it’s easier to see mail from all my email accounts together than the Gmail app.

I use Google drive though explorer just like any other folder, so maybe that becomes more difficult if your using it in a professional environment when you’re using shared documents rather than just things you’re the author of.
