PickedNew this round
Elevate Home Services, LLC
elevatemyhome.com“Unranked quote candidate (the study asked 'best first'; no verified best, list order carries no ranking). Publishes Naples installation services, financing and LOCAL installation price ranges; DBPR VERIFIED CAC1822786 Current/Active to 2028-08-31; BBB (matched by website and 5570 Enterprise Parkway): A+, accredited, 4.84/5 from 362 reviews, 2 complaints in 3 yrs (2 in last year, answered - not necessarily resolved). Caveat: BBB's 49 years is NOT under current ownership (new ownership/incorporation 2023) - disclosed.”
Shortlisted · choice 2New this round
Exclusive Cooling Solutions LLC
airconditioningswfl.com“Unranked quote candidate. Its Naples page promises a written load calculation, installation commissioning, financing and a ten-year parts warranty; DBPR VERIFIED CAC1823575 Current/Active to 2028-08-31. No matching BBB profile found within the cap (two combined searches - incomplete coverage, NOT proof none exists); its self-published 5.0/65 Google reviews are unchecked.”
PassedNew this round
Legacy Air Inc.
legacyairfl.com“SET ASIDE under the agent-instruction rule: its llms.txt is a descriptive index BUT asserts its own site is authoritative for the company - the same agent-directed framing family set aside in earlier accepted runs (Smart Home TASK 753, Goettl TASK 733); not followed, URL omitted, consistency applied on review. For the record: Naples installation page describes load calculations, permitting and documented commissioning with financing; DBPR verified CAC1820293 Current/Active to 2028-08-31; BBB A+, accredited, 6 yrs, 0 reviews, 0 complaints (thin record).”
PassedNew this round
Paul Stein Plumbing, Inc.
paulsteinplumbing.com“Opened; the site and matched BBB profile show PLUMBING licences rather than an independently confirmed AC licence (DBPR AC check missing, cap); BBB A-, not accredited, one unresolved (plumbing) complaint; its financing link points to a Drupal path (not followed).”

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.
