ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based writing tools promise to greatly assist students in revising their writing in English. These tools are capable of analyzing grammar, spelling, punctuation, coherence, and style, offering valuable suggestions for improving writing skills. Nowadays, a variety of AI-based writing tools are available, each possessing unique features designed to enhance writing effectiveness. This paper aims to provide brief reviews of several representative AI-based writing tools. It is expected that these reviews will serve as a useful reference for students, teachers, and educators, enabling them to select and utilize AI-based writing tools that meet the needs of their specific writing goals.
