    Hey Kristof, I hope you don't mind me suggesting my product Userdoc. A requirements management system with AI technology to assist in writing user stories, acceptance criteria, personas, and user journeys.

    I didn't see anything like it in your list, it would be awesome if you checked out the demo video on the website, or have a go with the 14-day free trial. I'd love your feedback.
