Google Gemini is down: UK and US users report issues with the AI chatbot

Google Gemini is down.

Users across the UK and US began reporting issues with the popular Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot loading for them.

According to the tracking website Downdetector, hundreds of users have been impacted in the UK, whereas more than 1,000 users in the US are seeing issues.

Despite user reports, Google's system status page says "all systems operational."

Google Gemini is Google’s family of AI models designed to understand and generate text, images, audio, video, and code.

Gemini powers AI features across Google's products, including Search, Gmail, Docs, and Android devices. It can assist with tasks such as answering questions, summarising information, creating content, analysing data, and helping with programming.

Several users have posted on X, explaining that Gemini is showing errors such as "1076" and "1099" when starting new chats.

If you're experiencing these issues, there may be a short-term workaround.

Some are saying if you re-paste in the same inquiry, it reboots the system and responds to your query.

Google Gemini generally maintains high availability, experiencing widespread, full-platform outages only a handful of times a year.
