How to Hide the "Ask Gemini" Button in Google Slides™

Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, is now integrated directly into the Google Slides™ toolbar. While it can be a powerful tool for generating ideas or images, the prominent Ask Gemini button can also be a distraction when you’re trying to focus on designing your presentation.

If you prefer a cleaner interface without the constant AI prompt, you’re in luck. You can easily hide the button using the Stylus browser extension, which allows you to apply your own custom CSS to any website.
