Technology company Yango, known for its services like ride-hailing, delivery, and maps, has launched its first smart gadgets. A lineup of two devices went on sale: the compact Mini speaker for small spaces and the more powerful Station Midi. Today, we’ll explore the Mini speaker, which features all the functionality of Yasmina and serves as a musical companion for the whole family.
The speaker has a sleek, round design covered in fabric, with a touch-sensitive top panel featuring volume controls, a button to activate the voice assistant, and a microphone mute button. When muted, the assistant icon lights up red for privacy. Through the fabric you can clearly see the LED screen, which was the first line of interaction between the artificial intelligence and the user – in addition to the digital clock, the screen displays Yasmina’s eyes, and this creates a friendly effect and an atmosphere of human presence.
The station can be used in any room – children’s room, kitchen, living room. It features a non-slip base for stability on any surface. Despite its compact size, the speaker delivers detailed and clear sound with a total power of 10 watts.
Yasmina and YangoGPT
You don’t need any special skills to interact with the Yasmina virtual assistant—just speak to her naturally, as you would to a real person. Yasmina can check the weather for tomorrow, set an alarm or reminder, and provide information from the internet with ease. A standout feature for parents is the Station’s “children’s mode”: when children talk to Yasmina, the assistant automatically restricts unwanted content, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience..
Powered by YangoGPT technology, Yasmina actively engages in conversations, offering thoughtful and meaningful responses to a wide variety of questions. She can explain complex topics in simple terms, provide detailed information, and maintain the context of a conversation seamlessly.
Yasmina communicates fluently in Arabic and English.
Mini and smart home
Beyond communication, the Mini Station excels as a smart home controller. The official website offers a comprehensive list of compatible devices that can be paired with your Yango Play profile and managed effortlessly via voice commands or the app. For instance, you might say, “Yasmina, set the humidifier to 20%” or “Yasmina, turn off the lights in the living room.”
You can also create custom scenarios for your devices, allowing them to operate automatically based on a schedule (e.g., specific days or times) or in response to other devices. This makes it simple to automate your smart home, ensuring it runs smoothly with minimal input from its owner.
The Mini Station is a compact assistant and the central hub of your home. Discover more about its capabilities on the brand’s official page.
