To remove the persistent bar at the bottom of your screen, click "Gemini" on the top menu bar within your document. From the drop-down menu, select "bottom bar preferences" and toggle the feature off. Be wary of the "X" icon in the chat interface; it only closes the immediate conversation rather than disabling the service itself.

How to disable intrusive Gemini pop-ups in Google Docs
The persistent "write with Gemini" text box appearing in Google Docs is a design choice that many users find more disruptive than helpful. If you are tired of AI-generated prompts interfering with your writing flow, there are specific steps to reclaim your interface and silence the uninvited digital assistant.

For a more comprehensive solution, navigate to your Gmail inbox and click the gear icon to open "See all settings." Scroll until you find "Google Workspace smart features" and select "Manage Workspace smart feature settings." From here, you can toggle off the AI-driven prompts across your workspace, preventing features like "help me write" from appearing while you work. This approach effectively stops the game of whack-a-mole that often comes with managing individual AI tools one by one.
