The Executive Selection: Yango Yasmina AI Powered Speakers Expand with New Ramadan Features

While AI speaker trends are focused on integrating advanced generative AI for more nuanced, personalized interactions, Yango Yasmina ups the ante by incorporating new Ramadan features.

Yango Group’s bilingual AI assistant Yasmina is rolling out a set of Ramadan-focused updates in both Arabic and English, to help users keep track of the Ramadan calendar, stay aligned with prayer moments and access daily tips and curated audio content throughout the holy month.

With simple voice prompts, during Ramadan users can ask Yasmina Ramadan calendar questions such as “How many days until Ramadan?”, “Which day of Ramadan is it today?” or “How much time is left until Iftar?”.

To support everyday Ramadan routines beyond timekeeping, Yasmina will also provide daily Ramadan tips by voice upon request throughout the month of Ramadan. These brief recommendations are practical and accessible, covering themes such as intention-setting at the start of the month, respectful conduct while fasting, balanced routines around suhoor and iftar, and wellbeing habits like hydration — grounded in widely observed Ramadan practices.

During Ramadan Yasmina will set the Noor Dubai 93.9 radio station as the default and offer thematic Ramadan playlists available via simple voice requests, such as “Yasmina, play Ramadan dua” — making it easier to move between spiritual moments, family time, and everyday tasks without picking up a phone. Moreover, users can also schedule a Quran recitation during the holy month — for example: “Set Quran on my alarm at 6 pm.”

For families, Yasmina will also offer a Ramadan quiz available in Arabic with simple educational questions — a light, shared way to learn and reflect together during the month. Users can start it with a voice prompt such as “Let’s play Ramadan riddles.”

“Ramadan is a season shaped by rhythm — prayer moments, family gatherings, and small daily habits that carry meaning,” said Rami Abu Arja, Senior Innovation Marketing Manager at Yango Group Middle East. “With these updates, Yasmina is designed to support that rhythm in a natural, voice-first way — from calendar questions and prayer timing to curated audio and short daily advice that fit into real home routines.”

Ramadan updates complement Yasmina’s existing religious features, including Quran recitations by parts (juz’) by a dedicated reciter, and recitations of specific surahs by various reciters, as well as other faith-related voice requests already available on Yasmina-enabled devices.
