When we use present continuous, we are referring to what is happening right now. Also, it can be an action that is not yet complete.
Present perfect tense
Although it's easy to confuse this verb tense with present simple, the main difference is that the action is complete for present perfect. In other words, we are looking at the result right now without any words referring to time.
