Is Gemini down?
We couldn't read Gemini's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.
Geminidown detector & server status
Is Gemini down or not working right now? This live Gemini down detector combines Google's official status feed, our own independent checks, and first-party user reports — and shows whether it's the GeminiAPI, the app, or a specific capability that's affected, plus the upstream AI provider it depends on. Use it to tell whether Geminiis having an outage today, and whether it's down for everyone or just you.
Crowd signal — your reports, not our automated checks.
How we know
We combine independent signals into one verdict. Here's what each source is reporting right now.

Uptime & history
Tracking since Jun 22, 2026% of our checks that found Gemini fully operational — a degraded check counts against it, because a slow or partly-broken service is not a working one. Down and degraded time are counted at our 5-minute check resolution, so both are approximate. Longer windows fill in as data accrues — we never show uptime we haven't measured.

Recent incidents
No recent incidents reported on Gemini's official status page. Historical incident tracking begins once our database is live — for now, see the official status page.
What this page can and can't tell you
- How we decide. We combine Google's official status feed, our own independent check from US East (Virginia), and first-party reports from readers. The confidence badge shows how many of those signals agree.
- On root cause. We have no visibility inside Google's systems. When our dependency graph points upstream, at Google, we say so. Otherwise we report what the signals show rather than guessing at an internal cause.
- Outages are rarely all-or-nothing. Some are regional. Some hit one surface while the rest works, so the Gemini API can fail while the app is fine. The capability panel breaks it down.
- Green doesn't mean everyone. If our check reaches Geminibut you can't, the problem is more likely local: your network, a VPN, browser extensions, or cache.
Frequently asked
Is Gemini down right now?+
Right now, Gemini appears to be operational. We couldn't read Gemini's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.
Is there a Gemini down detector?+
Yes — this page is a live Gemini down detector. It combines Gemini's official status feed, our own independent reachability check, first-party user reports, and the AI dependency graph, then shows a confidence level so you can tell a real outage from a local glitch. Gemini is currently operational. We only show signals we can actually verify — never invented report totals.
Is there a Gemini outage today?+
No active Gemini outage is detected right now — it appears operational. For past incidents and dated outage recaps, see Gemini's status history below.
What is Gemini's server status and API status right now?+
Gemini is currently operational. Server status and API status aren't always the same — the Gemini API can fail while the web app works, or vice-versa. The capability panel on this page breaks status down by surface (API, app, and any image/voice features) so you can see exactly which part is affected. Gemini depends on Google, so an incident there can cascade to Gemini and other AI tools at the same time.
Is the Gemini API down? (Google API status)+
Check the API row in the capability panel above — Gemini is currently operational overall, but the API can carry its own status. For developers, "Google API status" problems usually surface here first, because we read Google's own status feed and watch the API surface directly. Gemini depends on Google, so an incident there can cascade to Gemini and other AI tools at the same time.
Why is Gemini slow or not working?+
Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Gemini is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem. Gemini depends on Google, so an incident there can cascade to Gemini and other AI tools at the same time.
Is Gemini down for everyone or just me?+
We check Gemini from our own servers, independent of your device or network, and combine that with Google's official feed and user reports. If our independent check reaches Gemini but you can't, the problem is most likely local — try a different network, disable a VPN/extensions, or clear your cache. If our check and the official status both show problems, Gemini is down for everyone.
How can I tell if it's Gemini or my own connection?+
AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Gemini's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Gemini's side.
What can I use while Gemini is down?+
Good alternatives include ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.
Where is Gemini's official status page?+
Gemini's official status page is at https://aistudio.google.com/status. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
