Creating an AI item

This Create an AI Item assembler enables you to create an AI item that facilitates interaction with an AI NPC. When you create this item, you can define a prompt associated with it. During gameplay, when you use the item, the prompt will be sent to the AI NPC, allowing the NPC to react or respond accordingly. This event fosters dynamic and interactive exchanges between the player and the AI NPC, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
