Let's look at these sentences:
1. I am going to do some chores.
2. I will be doing some chores.
3. I am doing chores.
#1 is future but less certain than #2. It more like a declaration of intent. #1 emphasizes your preparation to do chores whereas #2 emphasizes the stated goal: doing chores.
#2 is future, and certain.
#3 is the least specific of the three. Unless you add an extra word like "now" or "tomorrow", it has no time frame. It can be present, or future, or timeless:
I am doing chores right now. (present)
Tomorrow I am doing chores. (future)
To make life easier for my wife, I am doing chores. (timeless)
Certainty depends as much on how you say the sentence as it does on the words you use. For example, if you emphasize "am" or "going" (or both) in #1, you can express a high degree of certainty:
I AM going to do some chores.
I am GOING to do some chores.
On the other hand, if you say #2 without conviction, you can sound uncertain.
