Abstract
Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the emergence of chatbots as an effective tool for language learning. One such tool is Google Gemini, which engages writers and researchers in natural and human-like interactive experiences. Google Gemini offers significant benefits for improving efficiency and collaboration in academic writing but also presents challenges related to accuracy, ethical considerations, and potential impacts on writer creativity. Thus, this tech review aims to explore the potential benefits and limitations of Google Gemini in writing. This review also concludes with recommendations for writing instructors and suggestions for future researchers in the field.
