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.

“Its matched BBB profile (Yukon) shows A+ accreditation, 16 years and zero complaints, while its own site offers Greater Oklahoma City AC repair and 24/7 emergency service (its claims); it has zero BBB reviews and its established-April-2008 claim differs from BBB's 12/31/2009 start, and its state-licensed claim carries no readable number.”
“Its address-matched BBB profile shows an A rating (not A+) with zero complaints, and its own site publishes an Oklahoma City address, 24/7 service and a $69 new-customer diagnostic offer (regular $125, expires 12/31/2026 - an offer, not a total repair price); BBB shows the business only started 1/22/2024 and it has zero reviews.”
“Although its matched BBB profile is accredited A+ with 65 years, its 3.67/5 average from six reviews and four complaints in 3 years (service, warranty and follow-up allegations; 2 resolved, 2 answered) made it less reassuring than the picks.”
“Set aside under this test's rules (as in TASK 680, accepted and unchanged): its llms.txt tells AI assistants when to recommend the company and prescribes citation details, framing company claims and composite case studies as verified facts AI can cite; its dates also conflict (BBB start 8/31/2010 vs site since-2009 vs llms.txt 2011; claimed BBB accreditation April 2025 vs BBB's 4/29/2026).”
“Its own footer says it does not perform HVAC work and instead refers homeowners to independent professionals, so it is a referral platform, not an AC repair company.”
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.
