AI Chat Action dropdown

1. Open: Opens the AI Chat interface.

2. Close: Closes the AI Chat interface.

3. Input Message: Inputs a message to the AI Chat interface, either as a named entity (the Name field) or as if it was said by the player (the Is Player setting).

4. Input System Message: Inputs a message as a system message rather than one attributed to a participant. Typical uses are describing the scenario or sending messages like "Erick has entered the chat room" that are not assigned to a participant.

5. Set Data: Sets the information about the other participants in the experience: the Name, Voice and Profile Picture of the virtual participant. Profile Pictures should have a 1:1 aspect ratio to prevent distortion.
