AIWatch Insight: AssemblyAI publishes per-component status (Async Transcription, Real-time Transcription, LeMUR). AIWatch tracks the API endpoint as a whole. Async transcription incidents are more common than real-time outages but generally resolve quickly.
When AssemblyAI is down, applications submitting transcription jobs (async or real-time) will fail. Meeting recorders, captioning services, and call analytics pipelines will queue or drop work.
