Yango Group has rolled out a significant update for its bilingual AI assistant, Yasmina, introducing on-demand news summaries to help users across the region stay informed efficiently. The new feature allows users to request concise news briefings in either Arabic or English, pulling structured overviews from reputable UAE media outlets.
Personalized Briefings On Command
The feature is designed to adapt to individual news consumption habits by offering a high degree of personalization. With a simple voice prompt, users can ask Yasmina to compile summaries based on specific criteria, such as “today’s headlines in the UAE,” “yesterday’s business news in Dubai,” or “yesterday’s UAE Pro League results.”
This customization extends to geography, allowing requests for news covering Dubai, other Emirates, the wider GCC, or international markets. Users can also specify a timeframe like today, yesterday, or the past weekend, and filter by themes including politics, business, culture, or sport. The result is a targeted overview delivered in plain, digestible language, perfect for a morning routine or a quick update.
Streamlining News Consumption
The core objective of the update is to reduce information overload and the need for endless scrolling through headlines. By providing clear and timely summaries, Yasmina aims to make it easier for professionals to stay current throughout the week.
“People want a fast, reliable picture of what matters — something that helps them stay on top of the news in just a few minutes, over breakfast or a coffee break,” said Rami Abu Arja, Senior Innovation Marketing Manager at Yango Group Middle East. “With on-demand briefings in Arabic and English, Yasmina turns headlines into clear, timely overviews so you can keep up without endless scrolling.”
The news summary feature is now available across Yango Group’s full range of AI speakers, including the Yasmina Lite, Mini, Midi, and Max models. The devices are available for fast delivery on Amazon.ae and through leading retailers in the UAE.
