Yango Group is presenting a preview of its bilingual human-like AI assistant, Yasmina, ahead of a major update. Visitors can experience the latest smart speaker in the lineup – Yasmina Lite – featuring the assistant's capabilities and tailored for educational scenarios. Powered by an advanced LLM and already capable of generating new ideas, explaining complex concepts, and performing calculations, Yasmina is becoming the ideal everyday tutor for children and lifelong learners alike. With translation capabilities coming soon, the AI assistant is set to become an indispensable tool for anyone aiming to learn Arabic or English.
Rami Abu Arja, Senior Innovation Marketing Manager at Yasmina, Yango Group , commented: 'One of the most important shifts in AI is the move toward creating systems that genuinely understand and reflect the cultural identities and everyday experiences of their users.

Yango Tech Robotics is showcasing its Picker Robot, an AI-powered robotics solution for warehouse automation based on imitation learning. Picker Robot is trained using behavioural cloning, learning directly from human experts and thousands of real-world warehouse scenarios. A system that mirrors human adaptability, handling up to 97% of product types with up to 95% picking accuracy, even in unpredictable environments. It helps businesses streamline operations and reduce the need for manual labour. As the region races toward more agile, sustainable, and resilient logistics, robotics powered by imitation learning is a new frontier of physical AI.
Yango Tech Autonomy is featuring its latest fleet of autonomous delivery robots capable of navigating city streets, accessing hard-to-reach areas, and transporting goods quickly and sustainably. Designed to perform in diverse weather and terrain conditions, the robots support cleaner urban logistics. Through a recent partnership with food tech retail company ROOTS, the service is now live in Dubai's Sobha Hartland community, enabling faster, more eco-friendly last-mile deliveries.
A strong national strategy backs the UAE's ambition to become a global AI destination. As part of the UAE Digital Economy Strategy, AI is expected to contribute 14% to the country's GDP by 2030, with AI adoption across sectors targeted to boost productivity and improve quality of life. Regionally, McKinsey projects that AI could add as much as $150 billion to GCC economies.

Yango Group expands 'Points' loyalty program to Abu Dhabi with valuable rewards for rides
Abu Dhabi, UAE – Yango Group, the global tech company, has launched the Yango Points program in Abu Dhabi, a loyalty program designed to reward users for cashless ride payments made through the Yango app. Introduced as part of the brand's ongoing commitment to deliver greater everyday value, the program allows users to earn loyalty points that can be redeemed for future rides, creating a rewards experience that complements the evolving expectations of digital-first consumers in the UAE. Exclusively available to subscribers of Yango Play, the program offers users the opportunity to earn cashback in the form of Yango Points every time they complete a Comfort-class ride using a cashless payment method. These points can then be used for upcoming rides across any category, including Comfort, Taxi, and Taxi Van, provided the trip originates within the boundaries of Abu Dhabi. The value of each Yango Point is 1 AED. Before 30 June 2025, program users will earn up to 50% cashback in Yango Points on all cashless Comfort-class rides. After 30 June 2025, they will continue to receive up to 30% cashback, creating a sustained value proposition for regular riders. The points are credited directly to the user's account and are visible on the main screen of the Yango app, offering an intuitive way to track and redeem them at any time. Once redeemed, points are deducted automatically from the total fare on a future trip. Points accrued, but not redeemed, will remain valid for 30 days after the end of a user's subscription. Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head of Yango Group Middle East, commented: 'With Yango Points, we're making loyalty simple, transparent, and truly rewarding. Customers in Abu Dhabi are already highly engaged with digital mobility solutions, and we see this program as a natural next step, one that not only adds value to their rides but also reinforces the convenience and advantages of going cashless. This initiative reflects our broader goal of offering our community real value every time they choose Yango.' To join the program, users must be subscribed to Yango Play. New users can access the first 30 days of the subscription for just 1 AED, after which the plan renews at a monthly rate of 29.99 AED. Upon subscribing via the Yango application, users receive up to 50 welcome points, which can immediately be used toward their next ride. Existing subscribers can access the loyalty program directly from their current accounts without any additional setup. Yango Points will soon extend to cover delivery orders through Yango's Cargo service, broadening the scope of the rewards ecosystem and enhancing its value across more use cases. This planned expansion will allow users to redeem points for logistics and delivery needs, supporting a more connected and efficient urban experience. As more consumers seek practical and rewarding experiences from digital services, the brand's loyalty program introduces a straightforward solution that enhances affordability without compromising service quality. For users in Abu Dhabi, it represents a new way to turn their daily journeys into real savings.

Yango Group, a global tech company, has been named the 'Best Vendor' in the lifestyle category for its Yasmina smart speakers at Channel Summit META 2025. The company's smart speakers are powered by the human-like AI assistant Yasmina that engages in intelligent conversations in both Arabic and English and features a wide range of functions — from curating educational and entertainment content to supporting smart home scenarios. The smart speakers are powered by Yasmina, a culturally aware AI assistant fluent in both Arabic and English. Yasmina offers seamless support across daily routines, education, entertainment, and religious practices. With its ability to understand local dialects and respond in contextually appropriate ways, Yasmina is tailored to meet the needs of modern households in the UAE. Swithin D'Silva, Head of Smart Devices in MENA, Yango Group, commented, 'Winning this award affirms our commitment to adapting technology that is not only smart but truly local. Our investment in bilingual AI isn't only for functionality; we are fostering a stronger connection with users daily. As we continue to expand the smart speakers product line, this recognition encourages us to keep innovating in ways that resonate with families across the region.' The recognition follows the launch of Yasmina Lite earlier this year, a compact and affordable addition to the lineup that delivers the same advanced AI capabilities. Equipped with a large language model, the AI assistant powering the speaker can engage in natural conversations and provide help with decision-making, generating new ideas, and clarifying complex concepts, turning it into an everyday digital companion. The Yasmina smart speaker range taps into a growing smart home market in the UAE, where the smart speakers segment is valued at $49 million in 2025 and is expected to grow steadily. This rise is driven by demand for convenience, connectivity, and smart living — priorities reflected in national initiatives like Smart Dubai and new tech-enabled residential developments. With bilingual support in Arabic and English, Yasmina offers retailers a product that aligns with consumer expectations and regional trends. Yasmina smart speakers are available for purchase through various outlets across the UAE. For more information, visit the website.
