Allow to pass variables to aiprompt programatically

and find tokens system old and difficult to work with (and documentation also very confusing scattered all over the place).
It could be modernized: tokens could be defined as plugins OOP based.
Providing tokens could be as simple as:
$children = [];
$node_token1 = new NodeToken();
$token->setName('node');
$token->setData($node); // [node:...]
$children[] = $node_token1;
$node_token2 = new NodeToken();
$token->setName('another_node');
$token->setData($node2); // [another_node:...]
$children[] = $node_token2;
$token_service = \Drupal::service('token');
$tokens = $token_service->getAllAvailableTokens();
$custom_token = new CustomToken();
$custom_token->setName('custom');
$custom_token->setDescription('This is custom wrapper token');
$custom_token->setData($children); // tokens available as [custom:node:...] and [custom:another_node:...]
$tokens[] = $custom_token;
$build = [];
$build['tokens'] = [
'#theme' => 'token_tree_link',
'#tokens' => $tokens
];
$text = "This is [custom:node:title] and [custom:another_node:title]";
$build['tokenized_text']['#markup'] = $token_service->replace($text, $tokens, $options);
Note: Because I want to generate tokens from user defined arguments, I don't know in advance what those tokens will be and want to generate tokens in place in a simple way like example above. And in my particular case:
[arguments:some_custom_named_entity_token:...]
Question: What it takes to achieve the same with current (which is still Drupal 7 remnant) system?
New, non-expert level and also expert level Drupal developers who would like to develop with more modern simpler API.
Example above looks easy, while at the same time, I don't know how do it with the old system. Old is probably very complex.
So outcome will be new API, easy to document, understand and work with.
It could probably be done as a module, and then later transferred to Drupal core.

Idea
I am relating core issue where functionality to support tokens of multiple entities of the same type is being built ✨ Support multiple instances of the same token type in token replacement Needs review
Also, in the meantime, there is a contrib module built https://www.drupal.org/project/token_aliases → enabling this functionality.
