Frequently asked
How can I tell if OpenAI is down?
AIDownCheck reads OpenAI'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 OpenAI: if several degrade together while OpenAI's status page is still green, that's an early signal of an upstream incident.
What breaks when OpenAI goes down?
We track 14 AI tools that depend on OpenAI, 1 of them with no in-product fallback. See the full blast-radius view on our "what breaks when OpenAI goes down" page.
How much of the AI ecosystem depends on OpenAI?
About 64% of the AI tools we track depend on OpenAI (by tool count — we don't estimate user-base sizes). That concentration is why a single OpenAI incident can ripple across many products at once.
Is AIDownCheck affiliated with OpenAI?
No. AIDownCheck is an independent status monitor. We combine OpenAI's official status with neutral third-party checks, and our dependency data is curated from public sources.
