Evergreen guides to the AI features in apps you already use: how to turn them off, what they cost, and which devices get them.
How to Turn Off Gmail's AI Features (and What Each One Does)
Gmail's AI features are controlled by two settings groups: "smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet" and "Google Workspace smart features." Turning both off disables Gemini summaries, Help me write, Smart Compose, and Smart Reply -- but you also lose package tracking, inbox categories, and flight events in Calendar.
What Is an AI Agent, in Plain Terms?
An AI agent is AI that does things for you instead of just answering you: it can browse websites, fill forms, compare prices, and book or buy with your approval. Real shipped examples in 2026 include ChatGPT's agent mode, Google's Gemini agent features in Chrome, Claude for Chrome, and Amazon's Buy for Me.
Which iPhones Get Apple Intelligence (and What You Actually Get)
Apple Intelligence runs on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, every iPhone 16 model (including 16e), every iPhone 17 model (including 17e), and iPhone Air. Standard iPhone 15 and anything older miss out because they lack the A17 Pro chip and 8 GB of RAM. You turn it on or off in Settings under Apple Intelligence & Siri.
