About
AutoIt is a premier and original Windows GUI automation and general-purpose scripting language, originating from Australia around 1999. It provides a straightforward BASIC-like scripting language to automate Windows GUI by simulating key presses, mouse movement, and manipulating window attributes. Key features include lightweight design, portability, support for scripting, offline functionality, task automation, and macro recording, enabling users to create standalone EXEs. While it was initially open-source, it transitioned to a proprietary license, reportedly due to an early fork violating its terms. It is exclusively available for Windows and is often compared to AutoHotKey, an early fork. Users consistently praise its power, stability, and effectiveness in complex automation projects, particularly for bypassing antiquated application GUIs.
