Technology group Yango has launched Yango Play, the first AI-powered entertainment app that combines video and music streaming as well as mini-games in one platform.
The app is aimed at the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market and is available for download on Google Play (for Android devices) and iOS App Store (for Apple devices).
What to expect from Yango Play app
“Yango Play offers a diverse range of entertainment options, featuring exclusive premieres of both Arabic and international movies and series, personalised music streaming, and interactive mini-games, all enhanced by Yasmina, an AI-based Arabic voice assistant,” Yango said.
The app is now available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the United Araba Emirates (UAE) and other Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC). The service provides subscribers with cross-platform access on smartphones and TVs.
It also seeks to promote authentic local content, regional production studios and artists. The Arabic blockbuster movie Mr. Ex and the sequel of the classic Awlad Harim Kareem are already in the app’s content lineup.
Yasmina: The Arabic-Speaking AI Assistant
Yango Play’s bilingual Yasmina AI assistant interacts with users in both Arabic and English. “Fluent in Khaleeji and able to understand major Arabic dialects, including Egyptian and Lebanese, Yasmina suggests the songs for listening, chats with you and answers all kinds of questions — anything from today’s weather to this year’s Ramadan dates,” the group said.
Personalised music stream
The app’s AI-powered endless music stream tailors personalised playlists for users and highlights regional gems based on their preferences. It gives each user a unique experience according to their personal choices.
“At Yango Play, we’re devoted to crafting a joyful entertainment experience, offering a selection of diverse content that turns every moment into a delightful adventure,” Yango Play’s MENA Region Business Director Roman Shimansky said.
“Our ever-evolving platform uses AI to provide more seamless and intuitive experiences by understanding your preferences — whether by curating uplifting music for your drive, engaging shows for family time, or quick games for a brief pause in your day.
