Yango announced the launch of Yango Play, the first AI-powered entertainment service that combines video streaming, music, and mini-games in one place.
Yango Play offers a diverse range of entertainment options, featuring exclusive premieres of both Arabic and international movies and series, personalized music streaming, and interactive mini-games, all enhanced by Yasmina, an AI-based Arabic voice assistant. Now available in the KSA, UAE, and other GCC countries, the service provides subscribers with cross-platform access on smartphones, and TVs.
The new super app places significant emphasis on upholding authentic content, celebrating regional production studios and artists. The platform not only serves as a launchpad for local talent but also ensures the diversification of the current entertainment landscape by providing its subscribers with a selection of original content that resonates with their cultural identity.
Yasmina, the bilingual AI assistant integrated into Yango Play, interacts with users in Arabic and English and redefines their entertainment experience. 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. Yasmina guides you through the Yango Play app and makes your experience more enjoyable.
Central to Yango Play's innovation is an AI-powered endless music stream that tailors personalized playlists for users, spotlighting regional gems based on their preferences. This ensures each user's experience is unique and reflects their personal choices. As the product continues to evolve, its recommendation technology will also adapt, ensuring a highly personalized and relevant user experience that resonates with unique preferences and cultural nuances.
With titles like the biggest Arabic blockbuster of 2023 'Ex' and the sequel of the beloved classic 'Awlad Harim Kareem' already in its lineup, Yango Play is set to reveal the full catalog with the best acquired and produced films and series in the near future.
