Yango Play, the AI-driven super app combining video streaming, music, and games, has introduced a feature in its music section known as My Vibe. The new playlist tool dynamically adapts to a listener’s song choices in real time, identifying changing preferences and mood shifts immediately.

My Vibe works by harnessing an advanced AI algorithm that analyzes over a thousand variables about a user’s behavior and the content. The result is a potentially endless stream of curated tracks, artists, and genres that align perfectly with a user’s preferences, mood, and historical song choices. The new feature can identify when a track is skipped or not completed and continually refines the listening experience in real time.

Roman Shimansky, Yango’s MENA Region Business Director, explained the benefits of the new feature: “My Vibe excels at sparking a range of emotions, providing that delightful surprise when you encounter a track for the first time and instantly know you’ll love it. With My Vibe, there’s no need to toggle between your favorite tunes and new tracks or waste time choosing playlists. Everything you need is accessible with just one touch”.

My Vibe uses neural models to understand the evolving musical interests of its users. The sophisticated tool studies track, analyzing their spectrograms, frequency ranges, rhythm, vocal tone, and much more. With all that information in place, the algorithm then searches for tracks with similar parameters, suggesting them to listeners based on likes, dislikes, and even other users with similar tastes.

Since being released in the MENA region in February, the Yango Play app has proved popular across the region. The service boasts music for every mood and genre imaginable and streams the latest Arabic and Khaleeji hits in expertly curated playlists, helping users discover rising local talent across genres.

At I/O 2026, Sundar Pichai Concedes AI Must Deliver Real Value

Gemini 3.5, a personal agent called Spark, agentic shopping, and Android XR eyewear are all aimed at making AI feel useful, not just impressive.

Google

Google’s annual I/O developer conference (I/O 2026) has recently become a status update on the same question: can the company turn its AI spending into products people use every day? This year, chief executive Sundar Pichai described Google as being in a phase of hyper progress, while conceding this is the part of the cycle where people want to see real value in the products they use on a day-to-day basis.

The strategy on display was to push agents — AI systems that act on a user’s behalf — into nearly every Google product at once. Search now has an “intelligent search box” that returns generated explainer videos alongside links. Gmail, Docs, YouTube and Maps are gaining their own agent layers, including a Docs Live feature that turns spoken instructions into drafted text with citations.

Two new models, Gemini 3.5 and a cheaper Gemini 3.5 Flash, arrived the same day. Google says 900 million people now use Gemini, and that more than 50 billion images have been generated with it. The pricing tier names are likely to confuse buyers: a new AI Ultra plan launches at $100 a month, while the older Gemini AI Ultra drops from $250 to $200.

The flashier announcements were Gemini Omni, a video generator pitched as a more realistic answer to OpenAI’s discontinued Sora 2, and Gemini Spark, a personal agent that handles recurring tasks across a user’s Google account. A new universal shopping cart lets agents complete purchases across multiple retailers from inside Google itself, placing the company between the merchant and the buyer, and also owning the checkout.

Google also confirmed its Android XR eyewear, built with Samsung and frames from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Audio-only glasses ship this autumn; a display-equipped version, which would superimpose live translations into the wearer’s field of view, is still in development. Both sets translate, however only the display version shows you the result.

What Pichai did not resolve is the bargain underneath all this. An agent is only useful to the degree it knows your calendar, your inbox, your shopping history and your physical surroundings. Google has now confirmed that, in time, the same context may carry advertising.
