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 own page claims same-day service and 24/7 phones for San Francisco County (untested), and it has an active C-20 CSLB license and an A+ accredited BBB profile, though it is based in Pleasant Hill.”
“A small San Francisco company whose own page claims 24/7 emergency service (untested, with no same-day wording) and whose license number matches an active C-20 CSLB record issued in May 2025.”
“It claims same-day service if called early, but its page says it is owned by Galaxy Services, so it is not an independent second option.”
“It claims same-day response but shows no license number and has generic filler copy, and BBB was not checked.”
“It claims 24/7 emergency and same-day windows but shows no address or license number in the text read, and its copy has odd mixed-in details.”
“It is a thin template listing mostly East Bay cities with no San Francisco service claim, and its hours conflict with its 24/7 banner.”
“It is based in South San Francisco, focuses on the Peninsula and makes no same-day or emergency claim.”
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.
