I am going and i'm going is the same thing. Just to simplify we use i'm instead of i am. I'm going= the action will be performed right now. I will go= the action will be performed later. That's all the difference between I am/ I'm going and I will go.

@remuheichou thanks for the answer! In the situation where a robot find a person sleeping in a couch and the robot states what it’s going to do, namely covering him/her with a blanket, which of those three should be appropriate?

I will cover you with a blanket. (1) an almost sure thing
I am going to cover you with a blanket. (2) a sure thing
I’m going to cover you with a blanket. (3) identical to (2)

“I’m” is a contraction for “I am” so they have the exact same meaning just different length. “I will” implies that they will do it in the future but does not specify when or how soon. “I am going to” or “l’m going to” also means they will do it in the future but more immediate, implying that they are about to do it right now or very soon in the near future.

@BlackMan1010 In that context, I would use “I’m going” if you want to sound like a more natural speaker or “I am going” if you want to sound more robotic.

I’m is a shortened version of I am. “I will cover you with a blanket” sounds a little unnatural so you could shorten it and say “I’ll cover you with a blanket.”

They are both contractions:
“I’m” = “I am”
“I’ll” = “I will”
