“Worker-judgment order, NOT a verified ranking. Own page claims 24/7 AC repair (OWN claim - availability today NOT verified, nobody contacted). BBB (profile, reviews, complaints opened; matched by address 10640 E 59th St): A+ ACCREDITED, 60 yrs per BBB (own claim since 1966), 4.63/5 from 132 reviews - strongest review evidence of the four - 16 complaints in 3 yrs (4 in 12 months; includes a cooling-performance/disputed-diagnosis complaint - reported experience, not a finding; counts are not rates). LICENCE CHECK MISSING: the Indianapolis/Marion County Accela business-name search returned NO results (inconclusive, NOT proof unlicensed - disclosed); self-published IN HVAC H0010016 unverified. Its $100-off promotion is not a repair/diagnostic price. llms.txt 404.”

Every month we asked

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.
