Voice assistants are designed to simplify life, automate routine tasks, control home gadgets, and, most importantly, provide pleasant communication with their users. A quick and intuitive assistant that speaks your language can feel like a friend in your daily life. Whether you need to play a song to set the mood, get a TV series recommendation for the evening, or find a game to pass the time, Yango has created Yasmina, a responsive voice assistant, to handle all of these tasks.

How Yasmina works

Yango’s goal was to create a localized assistant that understands the mentality, traditions and culture of the Gulf countries. Even the name ‘Yasmina’ was chosen through voting.

The assistant uses speech recognition technology, algorithms, and a database. Upon receiving a command from the user, Yasmina analyzes it and performs the corresponding task, such as searching for information on the internet or playing the desired song.

Where Yasmina lives 

The voice assistant lives in the Yango Play app, which gives you access to streaming video content, personalized music and interactive games. 

Video: Exclusive access to a wide list of Arabic and international films and TV series for fans of different genres. 

Music: My Vibe’s AI-powered music section combines regional hits with world-class favourites, adapts to the user’s music preferences as they listen and offers a unique listening experience tailored to each user.

Games: Yango Play’s interactive mini-games add fun and engagement, perfect for everyday moments .

Once in the app, you can call up Yasmina and ask her to pick a film by actor or genre, to find out what new releases are in the collection. 

What else can Yasmina do

With Yasmina, you can maintain a dialogue in Arabic or English, discussing general topics, checking the weather for the week, getting the latest news, or even listening to a joke.

Yasmina is a music expert and can recommend music to suit any occasion or mood. Simply say, ‘Yasmina, play relaxing music,’ and she will suggest tracks that perfectly match the mood and play them.

The voice assistant can also serve as your cultural guide, whether you are a native Arabic speaker or someone looking to learn more about the Arab world. Yasmina can recite verses from the Holy Quran and provide you with the current date on the Hijri calendar, helping you become more familiar with the culture.

You can familiarize yourself with Yasmina on Yango’s apps. Find out more at the link.
