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.
