Common Issues & How to Fix Them

Quick fixes for the most frequent issues users run into while building with Kulp.

Last updated 7 months ago

1. The AI didn’t understand my prompt.

Cause: Prompt may be too vague or missing key details.

Fix:

  • Use the “Enhance Prompt” feature to expand and clarify your request.

  • Add details like: what kind of app it is, which features you want, what kind of users it’ll have.

  • Example fix: Change “I want a dashboard” → “I need a dashboard that shows user analytics, login status, and daily activity.”

2. Build failed or code didn’t generate.

Cause: Feature logic may be unclear, or there was a temporary generation issue.

Fix:

  • Check the Build Issues tab at the top of your screen.

  • Click “Try to fix” to resolve it with AI help.

  • If that doesn’t work, revise your prompt or try regenerating the step.

3. Preview is blank or looks broken.

Cause: Feature may not have fully generated, or there’s a layout issue.

Fix:

  • Regenerate the feature.

  • Make small prompt adjustments.

  • Check if the live preview updates after saving or refreshing.

4. Changes didn’t apply after editing a feature.

Cause: The AI may not have understood which part to update.

Fix:

  • Use precise language in your prompt (e.g., “move the login button to top-right” instead of “change the layout”).

  • Consider editing feature-level prompts one at a time for clarity.

  • Use Revert to undo if needed.

5. Project structure is confusing or missing something.

Cause: Some core pieces like navigation, database logic, or user flows might be incomplete.

Fix:

  • Go to the Plan tab and review what’s included.

  • Add missing features manually from the feature suggestions or write a prompt to generate them.

6. Domain not working after publishing.

Cause: DNS settings may not have been updated correctly or not enough time has passed.

Fix:

  • Double-check your domain setup instructions.

  • Allow up to a few minutes for domain change to take effect.

  • Make sure your custom domain is linked under a paid plan.

7. Prompt keeps generating unexpected layouts or components.

Cause: Prompt may contain conflicting instructions or too little structure.

Fix:

  • Use structure like:

    “Start with a home page with login, then a dashboard with charts, and a profile page for users.”

  • Or use: “Create a CRM with client table view, notes per user, and calendar integration.”

8. Can’t log in or stuck during onboarding.

Cause: Browser cache or third-party blockers may interfere.

Fix:

  • Try logging in from an incognito/private window.

  • Disable browser extensions like ad blockers temporarily.
