How do I disable AI?

Posted on March 23, 2026

I’d like to disable AI features from my account, whether it is buttons or “behind the scenes” processing. I’d especially like to remove the invasive “AI Assistant” button that moved important menus.

Hi there,

I’m not 100% sure if there’s currently a way to fully disable all AI-related features from the UI, as some of them are rolled out gradually and may not have account-level toggles yet.

In this case, the best option would be to reach out to the DigitalOcean support team directly so they can confirm what’s possible and potentially disable or provide workarounds for your account:

They should be able to give you the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Heya,

I’m not aware of a way to fully disable the AI features in the control panel right now. I’d post this as a feature request on https://ideas.digitalocean.com and also reach out to support at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/support to see if there’s anything they can do on their end.
