Switch
Same thread, different model
Ask for a switch mid-conversation. The next reply comes from ChatGPT or Claude with every earlier message, file and instruction in hand.
Live from Google’s status pageIs Gemini down right now?
No
Gemini is up.
Google says: “No open incidents for Gemini”
Checked just now. Updates every minute.
Source: www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard . This page repeats what the vendor publishes and adds nothing.
What an outage usually looks like: "Something went wrong" in the Gemini app, replies hang or come back empty, gemini in Gmail, Docs or Sheets not responding. If that is you and the answer above says up, it is often local. If the answer says down, the rest of this page is what to do about it.

What to do while Gemini is down
- 1
Check Google's page yourself
The answer above is theirs. Open it for the incident detail and the estimated fix.
- 2
Rule out your end
Try another network, a private window, or the app instead of the site. A browser extension takes more chats down than most outages.
- 3
Do not retype the conversation
The context you built up is the expensive part. Keep the tab; paste the thread into another model only if you have to, and only the part that matters.
- 4
Or switch model and keep going
A Magai user asks for ChatGPT or Claude in the same thread. Nothing is retyped and nothing is lost; when Gemini is back, they switch back.

ClaudeWhy Magai users do not have this page bookmarked
When Gemini goes down, the work does not.
Magai holds Gemini's models and dozens of others in one workspace. The conversation belongs to you, not to a vendor: every model you switch to reads the whole thread so far, so an outage at Google is a model change, not a lost afternoon.
Memory
Your memory stays yours
Custom context, saved prompts and agents live in your workspace, not inside one vendor's product. They work with whichever model is answering.
Auto
Or let Auto choose
Auto routes each prompt to the model best placed to answer it. A model that is failing is a model it stops choosing.
