How to Disable (or at least hide) AI in Notion
these are three ways i use to disable or at least hide the annoying AI stuff in Notion:
1. Ask Notion to Turn It Off (yeah, Just Email Them)
There's no clean toggle that says "disable AI entirely." The most reliable method is just contacting Notion support and asking them to disable it on your account.
Send an email to team@makenotion.com and ask them to disable Notion AI. They've done this for users before, here’s the source, it's a manual thing on their end, but it works.
Yes, it's annoying that a setting this basic requires a support request. But here we are.
2. Turn Off Everything You Can in Settings
While you're waiting (or if you just want to reduce the noise), go to:
Settings → Notion AI
Disable AI suggestions and any other toggles you see there. This won't nuke it completely, but it cuts down a lot of the in-your-face stuff.
3. Block It at the Browser Level (Web App Only)
If you use Notion in a browser, you can straight-up hide the AI elements using content filtering. This is the nerdiest option, but it actually works cleanly.
On Brave:
- Click the Brave shield icon on the right side of the address bar
- Click on the Advanced Controls
- Open the Filter Lists
- Scroll down to "Create custom filters"
- Paste this below code into the black box:
! Hide AI button from the corner
notion.so##.notion-ai-button
! Hide AI from the sidebar
www.notion.so##.notion-sidebar > div:nth-of-type(4) > div:nth-of-type(2) > div:nth-of-type(4) > .x1lliihq.x1heor9g.x1hl2dhg > div:nth-of-type(1)
- Click Save Changes and reload the all pages
On Firefox: Install uBlock Origin, then add the same filter rules above via its custom filters section (Dashboard → My filters).
4. Spaces
If you press Space at the start of a new line, Notion immediately opens an AI prompt which is pretty annoying, to just add a regular space, hit Shift + Space instead.
Bottom Line
We don't hate AI, we just hate the way every software company is pushing it on us :)
