Frequently asked
How can I tell if Google is down?
AIDownCheck reads Google's official status feed and runs an independent check from our own servers every minute, then combines them into a confidence-rated verdict. We also watch the AI tools built on Google: if several degrade together while Google's status page is still green, that's an early signal of an upstream incident.
What breaks when Google goes down?
We track 13 AI tools that depend on Google, 1 of them with no in-product fallback. See the full blast-radius view on our "what breaks when Google goes down" page.
How much of the AI ecosystem depends on Google?
About 59% of the AI tools we track depend on Google (by tool count — we don't estimate user-base sizes). That concentration is why a single Google incident can ripple across many products at once.
Is AIDownCheck affiliated with Google?
No. AIDownCheck is an independent status monitor. We combine Google's official status with neutral third-party checks, and our dependency data is curated from public sources.
