Abstract: This study aims to investigate PhD students’ attitudes towards the use of chatbots to provide them with feedback on their theses. It also assesses the effectiveness of the chatbot in delivering timely and constructive feedback, ultimately contributing to the quality and coherence of students' work. Moreover, the integration of chatbots into the thesis writing process represents a promising advancement in academic support, offering students immediate feedback and assistance in managing their writing tasks. While chatbots offer valuable support in the thesis writing process, their current capabilities are insufficient to fully replace or seamlessly integrate with traditional supervisor feedback, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to academic writing support. Accordingly, the findings of this study suggest that while chatbots can enhance the writing process by providing timely and organised feedback, there is a need for ongoing development to improve their contextual understanding and analytical depth, ensuring they meet the diverse needs of students engaged in complex research endeavours.
