<div>Computer and app-based aphasia interventions with at least one aspect of AI (e.g., adaptive algorithms to modify stimuli presentation based on performance, real-time AI-generated feedback) led to improvements in various language outcomes for adults with chronic, stroke-associated aphasia. However, these improvements did not generalized to gains in functional communication or quality of life. <br><br>Limitations to this review include risk of bias regarding blinding in all included studies, a limited number of included studies, small sample sizes in four out of five studies, and heterogeneity between included studies regarding treatment characteristics and outcomes measured. Additional research is indicated. </div>
