How to REALLY disable Gemini in Google Workspace (G Suite)

As at January 2025, Google makes it difficult to disable their AI darling Gemini in Google Workspace. While they have documentation for turning off access to parts of Gemini, disabling its hooks into Gmail, Drive, Chat, and Meetings may be hidden from you.

If you go to Admin > Generative AI > Gemini for Workspace and see an unhelpful “No more settings to show” error, you will need to request access to those settings.

You will then be able to disable Gemini for Gmail, Drive, Chat, and Meetings.
