Yango Ride has launched an app inside ChatGPT, letting users in the UAE and more than 25 other markets plan trips and move toward booking without ever leaving the chat window.

The rollout spans Yango markets across the Middle East, South Asia, Africa and Latin America. It’s an early signal that ride-hailing groups see AI assistants as a new front door for everyday services.

Users can check the exact fare for a route, compare journey times, view the trip ETA and see how long a driver would take to arrive. The tool also suggests pickup points aimed at cutting wait times. When ready to book, users are redirected to the Yango app or web version to complete the ride.

The feature is available through ChatGPT on web, Android and iOS. Yango said it uses live traffic data and routing systems that refresh estimates as road conditions change.

The timing matters in the UAE, where public and private sectors have tied growth plans to AI under the National AI Strategy 2031. App-based mobility is also growing. Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority says shared services, including on-demand ride-hailing, rose from 7.5% to 9% of total transport usage between 2024 and 2025.

That leaves room for a simpler model: users ask an AI assistant for transport while planning the rest of the day in the same conversation. For tourists and business travelers, fewer app switches may be the real selling point.

In a recent press release, Yango said it plans to expand its ChatGPT presence beyond ride-hailing into delivery, public transport and food ordering.

The recent moves by Yango are part of a wider shift, as platforms seek placement inside generative AI products before those interfaces become a default layer for search, booking and payments.

Yango Ride is available in the ChatGPT app store by following this link.

DJI Teases Dual-Camera Osmo Pocket 4P For 2026 Launch

Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
