Users of Google’s Gemini are experiencing an outage. The issues appeared to have commenced at approximately 6:11 AM ET / 11:11 AM GMT, coinciding with a significant increase in reports on Downdetector from both the United States and the United Kingdom. Currently, there are 480 reports from the United States and 440 from the United Kingdom.
Comments include “error 1076,” “error 1099,” and “Google says everything is fine.”
Google Gemini serves as an AI-driven conversational assistant that is seamlessly incorporated into Google Search, Workspace, One, and Cloud. It provides immediate responses, facilitates creative content creation, and offers sophisticated productivity tools throughout the Google ecosystem.
Several frustrated users took to X to report about the problem, with one writing: “Am i the only one having Gemini not working at the moment with a workspace account ? error 1076 and 1099 when starting new prompt, same on web and app, user did not reach the quotas. @GeminiApp @Google.”

Gemini is yet to release a statement
Gemini has yet to release an official statement regarding the outage or provide a timeline for its resolution.
It is still uncertain if the problem is due to server downtime, backend updates, or network issues. The sudden increase in reports suggests that the disruption occurred suddenly rather than gradually. It remains unclear whether the outage is global or limited to certain regions.
This situation arises just days after the technology giant introduced Gemini Omni, a new multimodal AI model capable of creating and editing videos through text, images, audio, and video prompts. Google asserts that this new model represents a significant advancement towards transforming Gemini into a fully creative AI platform that can comprehend and generate various forms of media.
Gemini Omni is engineered to convert diverse types of content into a single video output. Users have the option to upload photographs, drawings, existing videos, voice references, or simply input text prompts. The AI will then amalgamate all these inputs to produce one cohesive video. A particularly notable feature of Gemini Omni is its editing capability through conversation, allowing users to articulate the desired changes in straightforward language.
