This work focuses on understanding the impact that chatbots have on education and their integration in some areas of the educational process, analyzing the results offered by other research and real applications. Chatbots have proved to be effective and increase user efficiency by providing information and being a support, evaluation, and follow-up tool. They have even shown favorable results in several learning levels, being a source that centralizes information without the need for the user to access multiple sources to learn a subject or to monitor the level of learning of students or their own.
