In the context of modern education, the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) provides significant potential to address challenges such as large class sizes and lack of personalized feedback. This paper investigates the role of AI-driven voice chatbots in enhancing the learning experiences of university students, particularly among Arabic-speaking students, by providing real-time personalized support that mimics the behavior of teachers. These chatbots are designed to overcome common barriers such as unwilling or shyness in asking for help, and can create an interactive and engaging learning environment. Voice-enabled chatbots provide an effective and natural mode of interaction, offering personalized support that enhances the learning experience and engagement.

This study begins with a systematic literature review on the use of AI-driven voice chatbots in educational setups. The aim of this review is to identify the existing challenges, gaps, and opportunities in implementing chatbots in education. Accordingly we propose a set of comprehensive guidelines for developing and improving voice-enabled chatbots. These guidelines emphasize effectiveness, personalization, and usability to ensure that chatbots can meet the various needs of students across different learning environments. Recommendations include designing chatbots that mimic the role of teacher by adopting a guided approach. The effective chatbots offer hints and suggestions rather than providing immediate solutions. This allows students to independently explore solutions. This methodology fosters critical thinking, enhances problem-solving skills, and builds students' confidence in their abilities.

Furthermore, special consideration is given to linguistic and cultural diversity by including support for multiple Arabic dialects. This ensures the chatbot’s accessibility and relevance for a broad range of students, allowing them to interact in their native dialects. Additionally, the guidelines prioritize data security and user privacy to ensure that chatbot interactions remain confidential and reliable. These considerations are critical to keep student trust in AI-driven tools.

This research contributes to the growing field of AI-assisted education by offering valuable insights into the design and deployment of personalized, interactive learning technologies. The proposed guidelines aim to improve current and future chatbot systems, enabling them to address educational challenges more effectively while encouraging critical thinking and engagement. By considering cultural and linguistic needs, the findings highlight the importance of customizing AI-driven tools to diverse student populations, while addressing privacy and acceptance concerns, thus helping to set the foundation for innovation in educational technology.
