Starting now, Google Fi customers can choose to turn off the 'write with Gemini' AI prompts that appear while they are writing. This change comes as some users have found these AI suggestions to be unhelpful or distracting.

What This Means for Google Docs Users

• Turning Off AI: Google Fi users can now disable the AI writing assistant directly within Google Docs. This means fewer pop-up suggestions as you type.
• User Choice: This update allows users to decide if they want AI assistance or prefer to write independently. It puts the control back into the hands of the person creating the document.
• Addressing Frustration: The move is a direct response to feedback from users who felt the AI prompts were intrusive and not always relevant to their writing needs.
• Google Fi First: The feature is being rolled out specifically for Google Fi subscribers initially. It's unclear when this option will be available to all Google Docs users.
• Gemini Integration: The AI prompts are powered by Google's Gemini technology, which is being integrated across various Google products.

This means you can now have a cleaner writing experience in Google Docs if you prefer. Google is listening to user feedback, and this is one step towards giving users more flexibility with AI tools.
