Dubai, UAE — [ May 2025]: 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.
