About Gemini

Gemini is Google's AI assistant family, spanning the consumer app at gemini.google.com, Gemini integration inside Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets), Gemini Advanced (paid tier), and the developer Gemini API on Vertex AI and AI Studio. Outages typically fall into consumer-side (gemini.google.com chat failing, image generation producing errors, Deep Research stuck) and API-side (Vertex AI endpoints returning 5xx, quota exhaustion even well below limits). Workspace-embedded Gemini features ("Help me write" in Docs, smart reply in Gmail) fail silently during outages, degrading gracefully back to the base product rather than showing error banners.

The official Gemini status page is at status.cloud.google.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official Gemini status page?+

The official Gemini status page is at https://status.cloud.google.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects Gemini issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

Why does Gemini in Gmail stop suggesting replies during an outage?+

Workspace-embedded Gemini features call Vertex AI asynchronously and fail open, meaning if Gemini cannot respond, Gmail silently hides the suggestion. You will notice reduced AI help without any visible error, which makes outages easy to miss.

Do Gemini outages on gemini.google.com affect the Vertex AI API?+

Often yes, because both run against shared model serving capacity. But the consumer app has its own application layer that can fail independently of Vertex AI. Capacity-side incidents affect both; UI-only issues do not.
