It can have types of data, such as arrays.
An AutoIt script can be converted into a stand-alone executable.
This can be run on computers that do not have the AutoIt interpreter installed.
A wide range of function libraries are available.
They are known as UDFs, or "User Defined Functions".
Some are included as standard.
Others are available from the website.
They add extra abilities to the language.
AutoIt has a special editor, an Integrated development environment or IDE.
It is based on the free SciTE editor.

AutoIt is often used to produce utility software for Microsoft Windows.
These programs can automate routine tasks.
Example use includes: systems management, monitoring, maintenance, and software installation.
It is also used to simulate user interaction.
In this use an application is "driven" to do things by an AutoIt script which behaves like a human user.
An AutoIT script can issue keypresses, mouse clicks, type text and so on.
In this way it simulates a human user of an application.
AutoIt has been used in low-cost laboratory automation.
Applications include instrument synchronisation, alarm monitoring and results gathering.
Devices such as 3D-printers can also be controlled.
