Quick answer

'Something went wrong' is Gemini's generic failure message (sometimes with a code such as 13, 1076, 1095, 1096 or 1152). Starting a new chat, then trying incognito and signing in again, fixes most cases; if all your chats fail, it is usually an outage or an account-side bug.

Most likely fix: Start a new chat

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Start a new chat

    1. Open gemini.google.com or the Gemini app
    2. Tap/click New chat and resend a short prompt
    3. If it works, the old thread was the problem; avoid reusing very long chats
    Did this fix it?

  2. 2. Test in an incognito window

    1. Open a private/incognito window in Chrome
    2. Go to gemini.google.com and sign in
    3. If it works there, disable extensions (ad blockers, privacy tools, VPN) in the normal window
    Did this fix it?

  3. 3. Clear cache and sign in again

    1. In Chrome open Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data
    2. Clear cached images and files and cookies for gemini.google.com
    3. Sign out of your Google account, sign back in and retry
    Did this fix it?

  4. 4. Try another account or the mobile app

    1. Switch to a different Google account in the profile menu
    2. Test the Gemini mobile app on a different network
    3. If only one account fails, it is likely account-specific
    Did this fix it?

  5. 5. Check for an outage and report it

    1. Check the Google Workspace Status Dashboard or a status site such as Downdetector
    2. If many users report problems, wait and retry later
    3. Otherwise use Send feedback in Gemini with the error code, browser and country
