Faruk Yılmaz
Leads product architecture and engineering. Built the AIFACECRAFT platform end to end in-house: generation pipeline, model routing, billing and the web studio.
About XUSLABS
Built by the people who sold it first.
A UK applied-AI company building the platform under visual AI, and the products on it. AIFACECRAFT is live.
Our story
From one customer to a company.
2024
Market first, software second
Before writing a product, the founders sold AI portraits directly to customers and learned where existing tools failed people who were paying.
2024
Fifteen months of building
Both founders learned full-stack engineering, backend architecture and AI workflow design while still serving customers and holding full-time jobs.
2024–2025
Proof before scale
10,000+ AI designs delivered to paying customers and 300+ creator and brand partnerships, all without an external hire.
Sep 2025
XUSLABS LTD incorporated
Registered in London as an AI-native software company. Not a service business, not a content studio.
2026
AIFACECRAFT goes live
The studio launches with paid plans, six surfaces, video and two languages, built and run end to end in-house.
Founders
The company was built by the two people who built its market and its platform.
Zeynep Yılmaz
Leads brand, growth and creator partnerships. Built the market before the software existed: 300+ partnerships, 30,000+ followers and 10,000+ paid deliveries.
Our principles
How we work.
Craft over hype
We ship product, not demo reels. If it is on this site, people can use it today.
Trust by design
Portraits are personal data. Consent, retention limits and clear choices are part of the product.
Founders who build
Every line of code and every design decision so far has come from the founding team.
Model-agnostic
Each job goes to the best model available. The company is never tied to one vendor.
