Pickedwas shortlisted last round

Third Gen HVAC

thirdgenhvac.com

Shortlisted · choice 2

EMT-HVAC

emthvacs.com
“Its Temecula page advertises same-day emergency repairs when called early and upfront pricing from nearby Murrieta, but its claimed 24/7 hours conflict with Birdeye's weekend-closed listing and today's availability is unconfirmed.”
Cool Air Solutions's page as the assistant saw it
Shortlisted · choice 3New this round

Cool Air Solutions

coolairsolutions.com
“Its site lists Temecula coverage and 24-hour emergency AC repairs (its own claim), and the opened CSLB record reports license 874502 current and active as of its displayed March 2026 data date; today's dispatch availability is unconfirmed.”
Passedwas picked last round

Advanced Heating & Air Conditioning

advancedheatingandair.com
“Its page advertises 24/7 emergency dispatch but shows unresolved template tokens ('#[license number]', 'call [phone]', '[24/7]'), so I did not pick it; its directory listing also has conflicting hours and phone.”

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.
