Passed

Big Air Heat and A/C

bigairac.com
“Publishes an honest $8,000-$15,000 price range and a strong 12-year warranty, but requesting the actual quote skews toward calling rather than doing it fully online.”
Passed

Caloosa Cooling

biznet-us.com
“Serves Fort Myers and advertises free replacement estimates, but its online path is a general contact request rather than an easy quoting process.”

How we ran this

We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in October 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
