Will: - Para hacer predicciones sobre lo que creemos o pensamos que va a ocurrir. - Cuando hacemos decisiones en el momento: i'll take it, it's hot! I'll open the window... - Para hacer promesas: I'll study harder, I promise. - Para ofrecerse a hacer algo: I'll cook tonight Usamos be going to: - Para hacer predicciones más certeras, generalmente porque tenemos indicios que nos hagan pensar eso: it's cloudy, it's going to rain. Crees que va a llover porque estás viendo las nubes. You're going to cut yourself! Quizás estás viendo que está jugando con un cuchillo... - Cuando se trata de un plan o una decisión ya hecha: I'm going to cook tonight. En esta ocasión, es algo que tienes planeado, no un ofrecimiento. Quizás lo has planeado esta mañana para sorprender a tu pareja, o simplemente te apetece hacerlo.

"I will" evokes a sense of certainty "I am going to..." is not as certain as above e.g. "I will go out" means you are definitely going to go out e.g. "I am going to go out" means you probably will go out but it is not certain

They are often interchangeable, but "going to" suggests there is a plan in place, whereas "will" suggests there is an element of will, or wanting to do something. Thus "I am going to weed the garden on Saturday" but "I will weed the garden before I plant more flowers".

En realidad, son básicamente la misma cosa. Si hay una differencia, es que "I will" suena como que estás mas seguro de lo que vas a hacer, pero eso no significa que "I am going to" suena como que no estas seguro... En general, puedes usar cualquiera, pero si quieres acentuar lo que vas a hacer, puedes utilizar "I will"
