The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language education has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, particularly in the area of writing instruction. For Uzbek undergraduates studying English, AI-powered tools provide support in grammar correction, vocabulary enhancement, coherence development, and content generation. This paper explores how AI-driven platforms can be effectively utilized to support the development of academic and creative writing skills, examines their benefits and limitations, and offers practical recommendations for educators in Uzbekistan..
