In the usual corporative fashion, AI is being further shoved down our throats.
How would one attempt to remove the Assistant button in the top bar present in Roblox Studio?
Just a little annoying to have it there, sitting so awkardly in between the notification and collapse/expand button for the editing menus.
Is this even possible? I would not be surprised if there was not an option to turn it off, I’ve checked the beta features tab and disabled anything to do with the so-called “Assistant” & ensuring I had the AI code settings in the Script editor disabled, to no avail.

From my research, I couldn’t really find a way to disable the ‘Assistant’ button. I even tried modifying the Roblox Studio registry files-- didn’t work.
I’d still like to share my knowledge on how to disable some of the AI features, so here’s all I know as of writing this.
The least you can do is to run Roblox Studio, open up any place/game/universe/experience, go into Roblox Studio settings, either by pressing Alt+S on your keyboard, or by clicking on File > Studio Settings, click on the ‘Script Editor’ tab and scroll down until you find the ‘Code Assist’ section. Alternatively you can just search ‘assist’ in search box in the very top of the window. In the section, disable all settings including the “Enable Assistant Selection Tooltips” setting.
While this doesn’t disable the annoying assistant button, it does disable some of it’s features.
If you want go further, you should probably know by now that Roblox uses a portion of your code and models to train AI (This is also the reason why the ‘Assistant’ sometimes makes horrible code/uses deprecated functions). If you want to disable this, you can access the Create page/Roblox Creator Hub, click on your profile in the top right of your screen (or hover on it and inside the context menu that shows up, click on the ‘Settings’ button) and open up the ‘Data Sharing’ section. From this point, it should be pretty obvious on how to disable all of the data sharing, however, make sure you also uncheck the ‘Make sharing data the default when saving and publishing Experiences.’ setting as well so you won’t have to access that page each time you save your game.
I hope you found at least something useful in this despite the fact that you simply cannot disable the ‘Assistant’ button.
