As has been said by others, ruby bindings are hardly necessary when using
its COM interface:

http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?AutoIt_For_Windows

The example on the wiki may appear a bit tame but once you've
installed and registered the dll, it's just:

   require 'win32ole'
   au3 = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")

.... and over to AutoItX3 for the "methods".
