What is AutoIt?
AutoIt v3 is an open-source scripting language that bears resemblance to BASIC and is designed for automating tasks within the Windows graphical interface while also addressing general scripting needs. It employs a combination of simulated keyboard inputs, mouse actions, and control manipulation to execute automation tasks that other programming languages may struggle to perform reliably. Following an assessment of various editors, we found that SciTE provided considerable benefits, prompting us to create a tailored Lexer for improved syntax highlighting and folding, which culminated in the development of a specialized installer dubbed SciTE4AutoIt3. Initially, AutoIt was developed for deploying PCs, facilitating the dependable automation and setup of multiple computers at once. Over time, AutoIt has evolved into a powerful language that supports intricate expressions, custom functions, looping constructs, and multiple features that experienced scripters expect. In addition, its lightweight and self-sufficient design allows AutoIt to operate seamlessly across all Windows versions without requiring extensive runtime installations. This property makes it particularly appealing to both beginners and skilled developers aiming to optimize their automation workflows, while also fostering a supportive community that shares scripts and resources for enhancing productivity.

Great tool
Updated: Jul 07 2025SummaryThe user forum is active and very helpful. But they will NOT assist in automating game cheats. This fact is clearly posted in the forum rules. Multiple offenses will get you banned. I suspect thatās the cause of any negative reviews you might read.
PositiveUsed AutoIt nearly every day for 5 years or more, at a large multinational, and have written dozens of applications, including data scrapers, report parsers, barcode readers, and mission critical tools to monitor critical hardware and alert support staff if that hardware goes offline.
It has a pretty flat learning curve. It creates standalone executables, and (for the most part) doesnāt require any .dll files to be deployed. Thereās downloadable help and a custom version of the SciTE code editor. You can also use Visual Studio Code, as thereās an AutoIt plugin available for that.NegativeAutoIt is Windows only. If youāre a Linux shop, look elsewhere.

Great language but easily decompiled
Date: Sep 14 2025SummaryGreat product but needs extra protection so people won't steal your work. The better IDE would only do good or an integration within tools like VSCode studio.
PositiveFlexible language, wide support for Windows functions
NegativeAlthough the code is easily decompilable to the original source format, it needs some sort of obfuscator like the one made by PELockāAutoIt Obfuscatorāto prevent source code theft from the competition. Support forums is terrible, they hide any post claiming how easy is to decompile AutoIt executable back to the source code...

Devs and mods have a superiority complex
Date: Mar 28 2024SummaryI would give my left nut for an alternative. One only needs to visit their forums and read the responses by the moderator there, and developers.
PositiveThe product itself is good, the community is not. Iv'e used this product for years, however i've refrained from too much activity in the forums due to the below.
NegativeThe mod team and devs are horrible. They don't even understand the word automation and that is the entire reason for this application.
