The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) can raise the quality of students' writing and increase the demand for educators to understand how to use AI approaches in the classroom to achieve educational success. In this study, researchers identified digital tools usage to organize the writing of higher education students. The goal of this study is to investigate the types of AI writing tools and their impacts on academic writing for higher education students in Indonesia. This research was conducted through a qualitative method using a case study design regarding students' perspectives on AI writing tools to assist their academic writing. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis and interpretation of the interview transcripts. The participants were six Indonesian students with different educational backgrounds. The findings showed that the students had pros and cons to AI writing tools. They argued that digital tools had positive views as helpful tools for checking spelling and grammar, paraphrasing and summarizing, translating, proofreading, citing, and managing references. Despite these beneficial advantages, there were students' concerns regarding whether ideas are submitted into the AI ​​database and possibly shared with other users due to copyright and plagiarism issues. This question became a concern when students wanted to convey their ideas to AI. The researchers concluded that the role of AI tools in improving their academic writing significantly impacted generating ideas and revising students' writing. This research will be valuable and useful for future investigations in exploring the utilization of AI tools in generating writing assignments.
