Yango Group, a global tech company, has introduced Yasmina, the bilingual human-like AI assistant, in Oman.
Yasmina, fluent in Arabic and English, is built into the smart speakers, Midi, Mini, and Lite, and is designed to meet the needs of users in the region through natural, intelligent voice interactions.
Behind the assistant’s ability to understand context and engage in natural conversations is an upgraded large language model, one of the core components of YangoAI — a suite of advanced AI technologies tailored to the GCC.
Yasmina goes beyond standard functions such as music streaming and smart home control. It offers localized features, including prayer times for Muscat, traditional recipe suggestions like Omani Shuwa, and assists with planning family trips to popular destinations such as Wadi Shab.
Additionally, the assistant supports faith-based activities by playing Surahs, setting Adhans, and providing accurate dates according to the Hijri calendar, helping users maintain a strong connection to their cultural and religious practices.
The AI assistant encourages curiosity across all age groups by simplifying complex topics, supporting language development, and offering interactive storytelling, making it equally useful at home, in classrooms, and on the go. It has the ability to translate between Arabic and English, making it particularly useful for bilingual users, language learners, educators, and content creators.
