Users flocked to Downdetector to report issues with Google's popular Gemini AI tool today. More than 4,000 people jumped to the outage-reporting service to report a problem, a telltale sign of a widespread issue.

Google never acknowledged the outage on its status page, and it seems the outage never grew enough for the system to catch it.

The outage lasted just over an outage before seeming to resolve on its own.

While not the biggest amount of reports, we're currently seeing around 1,700 reports on Downdetector, which is an indication that something is wrong with the popular AI tool.

According to the Gemini status page everything is "All systems operational," though as the number of reports continues to rize, that seems less and less likely.

Reports are rising quickly. When we first launched this live report on the Gemini outage, fewer than 2,000 people were reporting issues.

Just a few minutes later, and it's over 5,000. Clearly, a lot more users are noticing something wrong with their Gemini experience and are jumping to Downdetector to report the problem.

As is standard when there's a big outage, users start jumping to the comments section to report exactly what's happening to them.

In this case, we're seeing error 1155 popping up, which simply says "Something went wrong."

The most recent Downdetector update is the first that hasn't been a dramatic upward angle. It's still rising, don't get me wrong, but it's a slower increase than the previous ones.

We've seen some users report getting "error code 13" when trying to use Gemini.
