We asked Instinct this exact question in September 2026. Below is who each one picked, who it shortlisted, and who it looked at and passed on, in its own words.

“The state board confirms an active commercial licence (CL.51143, mechanical and electrical, to 3/4/2027) with matched address and phone, and its BBB profile (Metairie, not city proper) shows A+ accreditation since 1991 with zero complaints, but only 4 reviews averaging 3/5 (two negative accounts about diagnosis and charges); its family-owned-since-1978 and 600+ five-star claims are its own and conflict with BBB's 1979 start.”
“Its matched BBB profile (Harvey, not city proper) shows A+ accreditation since 1992, 47 years and 4.26/5 from 156 reviews, but 21 complaints in 3 years (8 in the last 12 months: disputed charges, repeat faults, follow-up delays, some refunds/resolutions; counts span several service categories), one first-page review discloses the reviewer works for the business, and its licence was not verified this run.”
“The readable homepage centers on Mandeville, its New Orleans repair page stayed on a browser-check screen, and neither BBB nor licence was verified within the cap.”
“Its repair page relies on self-claims (A+ BBB rating, licence #75402) that were not independently verified (BBB search found no profile, which is not proof none exists), and its history claims conflict (since 2022 vs serving since 2009 vs 17+ years); an earlier accepted run also set it aside over its llms.txt.”
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 September 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.
