Short but useful review of recent work on educational chatbots (EC) though my first thought on looking at this was that with the arrival of things like chatGPT pretty much all of the work cited - even the item from 2022 - is out of date. This especially applies to literature describing what chatbots can and can't do, what they are used for, and what learning outcomes they have. Kumar (2021) says, for example, "ECs are still novel with challenges in facilitating, deploying, designing, and integrating it as an effective pedagogical tool across multiple fields." This might be true today, but is not a result we should expect to be relevant for very long.
