I was about to say the same thing vs I was gonna say the same thing

The phrases are both correct and commonplace in everyday chit-chat. They convey the same meaning of agreeing with someone else's statement. The choice between 'I was about to say the same thing' and 'I was gonna say the same thing' depends on personal preference or the level of formality in the context.
