TL;DR

Character.AI and Poe both recorded 0% uptime for the week of April 20, 2026
No response time data was available for either provider during the monitoring period
Zero incidents were formally recorded despite complete unavailability
Total downtime for both providers: 0 minutes logged (data inconsistency suggests monitoring gaps)

Uptime This Week

Both Character.AI and Poe exhibited 0% uptime during this monitoring window, indicating complete or near-complete service unavailability. The absence of any measurable uptime suggests either sustained infrastructure failure or monitoring detection issues across both platforms simultaneously.

Response Time

Response time data not available for this period.

Response time data was unavailable for both Character.AI and Poe during this period, consistent with the reported 0% uptime. Normal response metrics cannot be assessed when services are inaccessible.

Incidents & Downtime

Zero incidents were recorded for both providers despite 0% uptime readings, which indicates a data collection anomaly. This discrepancy suggests that monitoring may not have captured the actual service disruptions, or reporting mechanisms did not trigger incident logs during the outage period.

Historical Context

AI tool providers have faced increasing reliability challenges as demand scales, with service availability becoming a critical differentiator in the sector. Infrastructure resilience remains a common concern across this category.

Which Should You Choose?

Neither provider demonstrated acceptable reliability during this monitoring period. Evaluate alternative AI tool providers or request incident reports directly from both companies to understand the April 20 disruption before committing to either platform for production use.
