Hi Jess! the TU7000 works with voice assistants. However, you will need to have a standalone Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device to perform commands such as changing channels, swapping input selections and launching partner apps. When stepping up to the TU8000, you will gain built-in voice assistants (Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant) and a dedicated voice assistant button on your remote for a much wider list of commands such as weather, music, and getting questions answered with your voice.
