Must-have

Answer in brief

A requirement that removes an option from the shortlist if it is not met.

Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all AI agents for small business.

What “Must-have” means

A must-have is a line you will not trade away. It differs from a nice-to-have in one respect: failing it ends the conversation. Three or four are usually enough, each written as a real task with a deadline. The discipline is in keeping the list short, because every extra must-have shrinks the field and raises the odds that nothing qualifies.

Approval before publishing is the one must-have we suggest for every small business. Linkme describes Link AI drafting posts and replies for the owner to approve, which is why it passes that line on its published description. Your other must-haves depend on your trade. What 'best' should mean shows how to choose them.
