Google has woven AI, powered by Gemini, into many of its core products such as Search, Gmail, Docs, and Calendar. While the features can be helpful, users who prefer to limit AI can adjust their settings to disable most of the smart capabilities. By navigating the Gmail settings and the Google Labs experiment, users can turn off Workspace smart features, reduce AI Overviews, and apply simple tricks like adding "-ai" to search queries. These steps allow a more traditional experience without permanently removing the ability to re‑enable the features later. Ler mais

The update is currently rolling out to Windows Insiders via the Microsoft Store and is slated for broader release after testing. Ler mais
