AI<\/a> really, really, really wants to write your emails for you, and with Google’s AI Gemini<\/a> now in your inbox, your Gmail<\/a> can feel a little out of your hands.<\/p>\n

If you’re worried about privacy<\/a>, feel like your writing skills<\/a> are becoming too reliant on AI, or simply don’t need Gemini features, it’s pretty easy to disable Gemini in Gmail, as well as other Google<\/a> platforms like Drive, Calendar, Meet, Maps, and more.<\/p>\n
