If this happens, you must fix it as soon as possible. In this article, we will tell you about the most common Caktus AI not working problems and their solutions so that you can use it without any hassle.

How does Caktus AI work?

Caktus AI is a student-centered writing assistant that mainly focuses on delivering academic content by writing essays.

While it is considered just another of the many AI software that seem to be popping up every other day, this one has piqued the interest of many students, given how it delivers its content.

It generates content according to the chosen writing style and cites published sources from its large database.

A unique quality found in Caktus AI is that it can easily adapt to your writing style and apply it to all papers. You can do this by uploading a sample paper you have written before, and the AI will personalize your style for future papers.

Does Caktus AI work?

Having a number of praises, one would actually wonder whether it is a reliable assistant. Well, like any other AI assistant, it does work well and encounters the usual hiccups from time to time. So what causes it not to work during these times? Below are some possible causes:

  • Poor connection – To connect to any website on the Internet, you’ll need a stable connection. If your connection keeps dropping, your Caktus AI cannot perform as expected.
  • Outdated browser – If you’re using an outdated browser, it may not be up to par with the Caktus AI website causing compatibility issues.
  • Overloaded server – Sometimes, too many users are trying to generate content simultaneously, so it becomes overwhelming for Caktus AI. 
  • Expired subscription – You may ask whether Caktus AI is no longer free. There was a free subscription, but now, you have to select a plan to use it. If you were on the free plan, perhaps that’s why it is not working.
  • Corrupt cache/cookies – Browsers accumulate a lot of cached files and cookies, and over time, they become corrupt. This can affect your access to certain websites, including Caktus AI.
  • Browser addons/plugins – At times, you may have installed browser extensions or plugins that interfere with how a certain website works.
